I guess he's a fan of melodrama. I love the Donald Duck comics
where he's mock melodramatic. It happens in some of Don Rosa's
comics (which are all kick-ass).

I hope? Yes, it's very very good. However, I find it unlikely that someone who has lived his whole life in the USA wouldn't know what "kick-ass" means, especially since I know despite not living there. I also find it very unlikely that Don Rosa would be reading alt.ascii-art. It would be cool if you really were Don Rosa, but in that case I'm guessing that this will very much resemble the "Trent Reznor on Prodigy" thing (they kicked him out for impersonating himself). You used the right e-mail address though, so that's cool. Seriously, there should be a celebrity PGP key server. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

This is getting curiouser and curiouser. OK, now I've searched Google Groups, and a ton of Don Rosa posts turned up! AND, they seem more and more legit the more I read. So for now I'm going to assume that Don Rosa actually (if only very vaguely) knows about my cartoon. That is such an awesome thought that it probably won't fit in my head for very long. So (while my head is still unexploded) let me be the first to welcome you to alt.ascii-art, Mr Don Rosa. :) -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

In fact, that's exactly what I assumed, by his abundance of posts on Usenet in response to random messages talking about Scrooge McDuck or Don Rosa. (Note how many times I used his name in my previous post; I'm basically hoping he'll see it.) It's still cool that The Don Rosa has seen my ASCII art cartoon (albeit in passing), and he still deserves a welcome. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

Of course I don't, but I have an auto-Google running all the time that alerts me whenever my name is used on an Internet newsgroup, the same way I monitor the sale of my comics and art on eBay. So "alt.ascii-art" popped up yesterday, though I don't even have the slightest idea what it is. > It would be cool if you really were Don Rosa It would be... kick-ass?

I've just come to expect that everything's phony on the internet, and your message contained such fragmented sentences that it seemed written by a non-native English speaker. > Thank you! You're quite welcome; it bears repeating that I really enjoy your work. In fact, I made it a point to study the pacing and structure of your comics in preparation for my (hopefully) upcoming book. (In case you didn't notice, this thread actually starts with a comic strip of mine.) I seem to have found some golden rules of cartooning in your work, and also several places where you quite masterfully break those rules. > So "alt.ascii-art" popped up yesterday, though I don't even have > the slightest idea what it is. That's what I thought. ASCII art is art made of ASCII characters, i.e. text. Have a look at www.ascii-art.de for a lot of good examples. Here's a selection: http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/def/donald_duck.txt http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/def/disney.txt I think Joris Bellenger's ASCII art is particularly good: http://www.xs4all.nl/~svzanten/ascii/index.html > > It would be cool if you really were Don Rosa > > It would be... kick-ass?
