--------- Llizard did take the initiative
by cutting off the tail
that goes below this line
The "humorous reply" then includes a "llizardstein" drawing which was not
done by llizard and which is already different from the usual "llizard"
drawing.
The cartoon character "Alligatorstein" is even more remote: mouth, tongue,
eyes and legs are quite different. Moreover, in case of "Alligatorstein",
the relative positioning between upper jaw and eyes, as well as the
direction of the curved tail, are designed to point directly at captions
without any further ado.

I also like Pete Casso's cartoons, he received accollades such as "pure
genius" from Directors of Audio-Visual Studios and other leading
professionals, see his website where he posted some of these accolades.
If people only understand silly schoolboy jokes, then that's the only
thing they will see in his cartoons, if people have more profound
understanding, then they will also see more profound messages in his cartoons.
Yet another Pete ;-)

aaaaaaah Peter Kwa, bless your little schoolboy heart.
I have truly tried my best to stay off the Pete-Casso-bashing
bandwagon. Even with your ridiculous argument with Joan (also
known quite suitably as SPUNK) and your horrendous mutation
of ejm's llizard.
Well, carve my name on my place for I now I intend to JUMP on the
bandwagon and STAY on!
As I am under a lot of pressure for the next month or so, I must
thank you for providing me with some entertainment Peter Kwa.....
So lets get *Personal* :
--------------------
For the grossly unobservant both smileys are in place in my repost, and
the meaning was taken. However that is not the point.
I have only noted one time when you actually slipped up and posted as
Kwa with a reference to PC (Thank you Dejanews) the other two times on
<aa-a> there was no mention of PC. So I made the assumption that the
greater part of our little community did not know of that fact either.
The truly sad thing is that you are endorsing your own work
as if you were someone else.
( Oh, and I have checked your web page and have not found any reference
to your real name, (perhaps I missed it? or perhaps you'll quickly add it
in and say its been there all the time!))
aaah but dont get me wrong. Your art isn't too bad. The script is even
vaguely humorous on occasion.
My problem is with the very core of you poor, lonely
pathetic BEING!
Were you born dislikeable or did you have to practice?
To be reduced to posting your own defence under a different
name has truly opened my eyes to the your very sad fact of your
existence.
Please, do not hesitate to post in your defence (using a
variety of different names and addresses if it makes you feel
better!)
I look forward to your explanation!
Eagerly awaiting your reply
Shanaka Dias
PS. ummm since you seem to be Vision Impaired as well as Mentally Challenged,
There are NO smileys in this post!

Ho hum.... still waiting for the reason why you felt the need to assume one of your lesser known "pseudonyms" in this newsgroup and then proceed to proclaim your own accolades as if you were someone else. "Blowing your own horn" as it is known, is a sure sign of some major insecurities. Why don't you let your work stand on its own merits, rather than effectively tell people " Look at me, Look at how great I am........please!". Honestly Pete, don't cheapen your art by trying to get people to take notice, because then they might say yes, the art is great but the artist is pathetic. Stand up for yourself as yourself, dont hide behind other names or even other people, as you lose a lot of respect that way. Espescially in a world forum. Have some confidence in yourself!

Well folks,
It just goes to show, that there is no point arguing
with a person that doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Peter Kwar/Pete Casso, your response to my posts
has been disappointing to say the least. Your only
defence seems to be to continually sidestep the issue.
Your need for affirmation and recognition is saddening.
In fact by your response, my guess is that you are at
most a troubled adolescent, if that. Dont worry, as
you get older things will get better. Once you have
conquered your lack of self esteem and gotten past the
pimply stage, you may even get enough courage to post
under your real name.
Just a few tips.
When addressing an argument, try not to focus on the
the minor points alone, as illustrated below.
1. Smileys in your post - A minor point and included
in my reply to this thread. I have used the internet
for almost 5 and 1/2 years now and I do know how to
take smileys in context.
Problem - Irrelevant
2. Focussing on the fact that I'm getting personal -
An incredibly minor point.
Problem - Missed a number of points
1. Why bother posting defence under
a different name?
2. How can one child have so many
big names in ascii-art think so
little of him? (It still amazes me!)
3. Ignoring the question totally.
Problem - invariably proves that you were in the wrong!
Pete/Pete, your demonstrated inability to address the issues
at hand has shown a huge lack of experience in dealing with
people. Go out, live a little, grow up and get back to me in
a few years.
My deepest sympathy

Thanks for the deep sympathy expressed and the fact bendings offered. My
own eulogy for this thread mentions in passing a slight regret for
pathetic mudslinging and youthful gang mentality. Nevertheless, if a gang
member initiates a joke again, I may be enticed to joke back!
Yuck! That was a real short eulogy for a long thread!
