Hello all you skilled ASCII artists. I have some characters that can be
used for a ASCII cartoon. Some I have made, others are copy'n'pasted
from this forum and then modified, If you can make additional characters
and/or can use these in your own work - be my guest. Here is what I have
so far:

What do you think? Are they any good as cartoon characters?

Well, I think you should try to adapt to modern times. I guess
a.a-a was a bit different at you time. Today the credits and initials
tend to stay with the picture, diddled or not.

"All but one are merely copied and modified a little" is it, no?

Those specs look a little lopsided.  Here's a new pair...

You gave me a sex change and a blank stare.  At least no one will
recognize me with the blank stare.  If it had just been a sex change
then I would be Raging_A_Complain(tm)

> What do you think? Are they any good as cartoon characters?

Cartoon's aren't about the art.  The art helps.  But without a story
and some reason for the reader to think and not stare you need
something more than art.  Flip through IX of the Sandman and notice
how the art sucks to no end.  But it is like that for a reason.  This
way you pay attention to the words and the ideas.

Looks like ascii kilts just don't work well in this scale for action
scenes.  We can't win them all.
