These are fine, and it's nice to see something different for a
change.  I think you ought to post all the frames, though.
Maybe use a different post for each frame; that would give
me plenty of new stuff to look at, as I have the flu, and am
not going anywhere for a couple of days.

I have been playing with gif animations again and just made one of
someone on a windy day. It might translate fairly well to
ASCII-animation. Here are the first two frames... 


              .',
       ,`/ _.' _.-
       /  `---'
       \;/\
          \\`.
           \\ `. 
          / /\   `.
         /, \ \,'
         \\  `.`.
          \\   `,`,
  ejm    -`-'   -'

              .',
       ,`/ _.' _.-
       /  `---'
       \;/\ 
          \`.`
           \ `.` 
          / /   `.`
         /, / `,'
         \\ \
          \\ \
  ejm    -`-''

For anyone interested, the gif animation is at:

Very nice! I love windy days.

Maybe it's because of differnt font/display but
I think he needs a bit more 'arm' and more body
to fill the coat, like :

              .',
       <`/ _.' _.-
       /' `---'
      (' / `.
       `"-'\ `.
           \\  \ 
          / /\  `-,
         /, \ \,'
         \\  `.`.
          \\   `,`,
  ejm    -`-'   -'

Yes, have a look. It's worth it.

Of course you're right that the arm leaves something to be desired. Not
being able to use your signature hat style (looks like Philip Marlow's
hat), I have just now come up with the following alteration that I hope
meets with approval.

             .',
       ,`/ .'  .-
       / ``_--'
       \/, `|
          \  `.
           \`   `.
           | \`   ,`
           |, \`,'
           \`  `.`.
            \ \  `,`,
ejm        -`-'   -'

The coat is still a bit static looking but there it is....

I finished the ASCII-animation yesterday. It can now be viewed (In order
to view it, you MUST have Netscape Navigator 3.01, MSIE 4.0, Opera 3.2b2
-or higher, with the Javascript enabled. The animations DON'T work in
MSIE 3.0 because in their wisdom the MSIE people cleverly use a
proportional font in the Javascript window.) at:
