Phil, I went to Dejanews Power Search
http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml to fetch your other large drawing.
(I put your name as the author and the keyword 'lions' and your drawing
came up as the only hit. The whole operation took 2 minutes.)

Here is a blueprint of one of the cows ideas.  As you can see it's not 
bad.  Of course it had to get the chimp to draw it (due to not having 
hands) so it's not completely accurate.  Chimps are not very good at 
coming up with ideas or drawing in general, but they can pull ropes and 
climb trees which is why the cows enlist their help.

Also Chimps work for very little pay.  A couple of bananas and they'll
do 
anything.

There we go.  An ASCII representation of the blueprint.

Hope it comes out OK.

Hope ya like it.

Sorry, can't draw lions.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing the White Tower in Ascii. What
you have done so far is excellent.
