Re: Has anybody seen an ASCII art like this?

That seems to be a great shame to me, a bit like wanting to paint with both
hands missing?

It is also a shame because I thought for a brief while that I had caught the
ASCII art bug, but now you tell me I have not!

Perhaps I shall continue with my own newly discovered form of art, and call
it Super-Ascii-Art.

Regards
Martin
