Argh! So I improved upon the evolution thing I posted a few days ago
and put it in my sig. However, my bells-n-whistles type friends claim
no to recognize a thing!! Now what do I do -- are there some obvious
improvements? Adding text? Arrows? More detail? I've looked at it
for so long it all makes perfect sense to me -- ;) --- therefore I
think I need some help. Any ideas?
Alex.

As you'll notice, I adopted your twiddling of the monkey. I hope you
don't mind, I'm planning on having a little web page on ascii art,
I'll mention your homepage... :D
The twiddling of the screen using ; instead of � looks weird on my
machine: kind of fuzzy!? I also tried | instead of � but it didn't
help - Using | (no break in the bar on my machine) makes the TV front
less "active" (?)... I just realized the difficulties of describing
the minor nuances of ASCII art on the human visual system...
I also added a little tail to the mammal.

The majorette I drew is much happier than the majorette that you tweaked (hmmm, an interesting use of the term here). The reason the first majorette is happier is that she doesn't get those horrible gouge marks in her shoulders from the armor that she doesn't have to wear but must be worn by the second majorette.
