First a snail just so I can remember what I did the first time.  :)

This one could be a caterpillar if the job as a slug doesnt work out.

Thanks Laura, I'll
repost your 'slug' that I was talking about, okay,
 I know it's not supposed
to be a slug but...it looks like one to me:P

So I am thinking Joan's snail here would make a great
target to diddle, 
it's about the right size and detail. And since I have no
problem with publically 
humiliating myself...I'll give it a try:)

Hrm, that's not bad...though I'm afraid I may have made the
first diddle in history
that is going to make Joan scream, "Get my initials
off that!":) We switched
fonts in the middle of it I think, my "'s don't meet
up with her's even if put on
the same line, but since it looks pretty good
here, I'd have to say it looks best
in whatever font Joan used + The default
fixed pitch font from Forte Agent 
1.5/32.451 whatever the heck that one is.

I didn't get no picture here? And the one that is posted is my
did-mangling-dle of JGS's? I can't see anything you changed? Did you
forget to post it?:)

..sorry, I goofed..I should have left in the one that was basically the
last one last shown, but with lots of those "a's" with accents over them.
There were a lot of them just before the "chest" area...gj

*sob* News-servers hate me.
Lets try this again. And if no one else ever see's it at least it will
look good to me, instead of that garbage that came out when I posted
from Deja.

Here is She-dragon's original Snail Pty-thing.

So I am thinking Joan's snail here would make a great target to
diddle, it's about the right size and detail. And since I have no
problem with publically humiliating myself...I'll give it a try:)

Hrm, that doesn't look too bad, except Joan may be scar(r?)ed that her

one else ever see's it from the foxinternet news server not sending it

Really? Hmm, that's wierd...I can't imagine why...not like I put them
in on purpose, or that notepad would have? I doubt free agent did it
either. Now I'm  confused and I still didn't get to see your diddle:)

No, no, no.  That slug isn't by She-dragon, it's by me.  See the
initials?

Hey, you're right, it does look like a slug.  I wasn't even thinking
about that. :)

Here's basically the same guy, but as a bannana slug, bigger, nastier,
