What do you think of my sig?

Hi :-)
I thought I'd introduce you to Fred, my friendly sig file. He's
supposed to be a juggling unicyclist, but people keep on thinking he's
an alien or something. One person even thought his eyes were breasts!
Sad, sad, sad. Anyway, I'm beginning to doubt my ascii skills now.
Does anyone have any tips to improving him? I want to keep him as small
as possible, but I also want him to be recognisable.
Thanks,
Jacinta

Another reason why when we post pics in here we give a description of what it is...*S* I thought your's was great and unique. Most people don't understand patterns in juggling, so I just used three balls and made them all one direction. I also gave him a seat and pedals for his feet. I used a Q for his head to separate from the wheel. I don't kniow if it looks like a unicycle, juggler or not, but it was the best I could come up with. You have a GREAT IDEA for a sig!
