Compliment/zebra

Hi-

1)  As someone with just about no artistic ability whatsoever, I just
wanted to tell you all that the ascii art in here is really impressive! 
I've lurked for a while now, and I just love looking through the postings
to see what you all come up with.  I'm so jealous of the people who post
things like "I'm just a newbie, can you all tell me what you think of my
first ascii art?" and it's this incredibly clever picture.

And since I'm so impressed...
2)  I was wondering if any of you have ever done a zebra, or have the spare
time to try one?  A little one would be great.  I have this friend, and
it's our nickname for one another, and it would be really fun to send to
him.  (I hope I'm not overstepping bounds and asking too much here.  If I
am, please ignore me.)

Thanks for being such a creative, entertaining group!

Kathy, you are not overstepping any bounds at all. And many thanks for
telling us that we are entertaining.

I did this small zebra last year:
       _,,
      "-.\=     
         \\=   _.~
        _|/||||)_
ejm97   \        \

and here's an alteration:

       _,,
      "-.\=     
         \\=   _.~
        _|/}}}})_
ejm98   \        \
