[REQUEST] 'Goofy' signature

[REQUEST] 'Goofy' signature

alt.ascii-art · 9 messages · 26 Sep 1998 - 5 Oct 1998
Hi,

I've been reading this group for a while now.
I even read the FAQ etc. ;) So here's my request:

Since everybody I know knows me by my nickname 'GoofY'
(yes, the Disney character), I wonder if any of you
have a 4-liner with him? Okay, maybe 5 or 6 lines,
as long as it fits in my signature...

(BTW you may send big GoofY pictures as well, but right
now I'd like a small one too :)

Too bad I'm totally not creative myself, however
in return I would like you to have this tidbit
of an alien (who goes by the name of Xemu or Xenu)
 __
()() HAIL 
 \/  XEMU!

It's not much, but it's mine ;)

I also made a font once for the figlet service, and it 
should be somewhere on their FTP-server... I used to
use it for my signature like this:

                        Kind regards!

Yes, I know, it's not small, but it's mine...
(Addresses changed to reflect current situation)

Anyway, back to my question...
Anyone have a small GoofY for me?

TIA!

And you should use the { and } for beginning and ending...
{MARTIN}
{ATKINS}

Makes a nicer border...

>Sorry, I don`t have any goofy's :o(

Oh well... You already made my day by actually using my font! :)
(You're the first I know of...)

Yep, now they are much more readable! Thanks!

But however, it was the intension that they were indeed UNreadable...

But if you prefer them readable, be my guest ;)

My apologies, I had not realised that you were the author of the
Figfont GOOFY.FLF...thank heavens you are not a copyright freak and
did not include any "conditions of use" in the header notes of your
Figfont.  *8-)

I think the only genuine ascii Goofy to date is by Joan Stark:
                  .
                \ | /
                _\|/_
              .' ' ' '.        ___
            _.|.--.--.|.___.--'___`-.
          .'.'||  |  ||`----'"`   ``'`
        .'.'  ||()|()||
.___..-'.'    /       \
`----'"`     /   .-.   \
            (.'.(___).'.)
             `.__.-.__.'
        jgs   |_|   |_|
               `.`-'.'
                 `"`



These others are of similar characters eg Pluto et al:

None of them are small enough for a 4 or 6-line Sig so you will have
to use your talent to reduce them to Sig size and still look real
Goofy!


You could use Style's RESIZE.EXE utility (location given below) but the
results are not likely to be too helpful.


Here are the top three pictures resized by RESIZE.EXE:

I needed to slim down an ascii-art I got somewhere so that I could
use it, because it was 27 lines.  I'm not too good with ascii-art,
so I just wrote a program to scale down (or up) an ascii-art...
example:

                                       "$$$""""

when shrunken to 75% becomes:

Neat, eh? it works like an image scaler, though, so you don't gain
detail as you increase size, and as you decrease size you lose some
of the letters.

Dos:
http://www.bignet.net/~thekid39/resize.exe
Unix (C source):
http://www.bignet.net/~thekid39/resize.c

to run:
resize percent < input file > output file

Nope, the above Sig actually uses the Figlet Font GOOFY.FLF which 
already exists:

I've diddled the letters to make them more easily read.

is also one of my favorites. And this is definitely
NO PLUTO! (Pluto as in: the dog from Mickey Mouse).
The give-a-ways are the long ears and the teeth...

This one I found quite some time ago, and alas, no credits either :(

There is also somewhere on the web a colored version, which also
looks good in black/white... I'm thinking of setting up a homepage
just to collect all kinds of Goofy's...

Mmm, that last one still looks a bit like Goofy! Cool!
Too bad I am graphically gifted as much as any airplane.

Maybe someone from the group can diddle it into something
more recognizable? Getting the ears more black, and the face 
a bit lighter?
