Hello!
I'm new here in this NG and to ASCII art, tryed some things myself but
nothing too good... yesterday when I read the nerd boy episodes, I was
inspired and thought I'd have to make my own ASCII art comic strip...
It's not too good, but... sometime is always the first time...
I just remembered that today is the XBOX start in europe, I didnt think
about that yesterday... :)

I had the idea a looong time ago, and yesterday when I saw these Nerd Boy episodes, I just thought I'd have to do my own... Normally, I really cant draw, especially not human beings and such, but... it seems you have atleast concluded that it should be a human sitting in fron tof the box :) > So I would go with something like -| instad of �. Oh, sorry, didn't know that... I'll remember the next time :) -Felix
