Well, none of it is under 4 lines, but hey, I'll post it anyway.
Besides, it can't be that rediddleing some of the dogs found at:

Uhm.. excuse me for not being able to fully understand your
deepest thoughts, but why do you post ASCII art in base 64
encoding? The purpose of base 64 is to transmit binary data
in, uhm, ASCII format (alright, alright, it uses a subset of
the 7-bit ASCII character set). Of course, this has nothing
to do with the quality of your posts, which is good as always,
but it is a bit a of nuisance to decode them. Especially since
the posts (like the one I quoted) are not MIME compliant (you're
losing boundaries) so that they need to be fixed manually. And
then there is the over 33% overhead of base 64 encoding over
plain ASCII transmission.. (Or does the 72 column limit still
strike?)

Just thought I'd mention this - nothing personal :-)

4 lines max?!  It'll be hard to fit the spots on the dog in only four
lines...
Here are some 4-6 line dogs that I made... no spots... but nearly
dalmation-looking.

Look, I didn't kthis. I simply attached it  afile from my files.
Having NO idea that it was encoded. I don't encode my postings.
It was just this particulary file. It's even like that on my
site. Oh dear...

Well anyway, not my fault...
Cherio,
Erik

I've attached a great ascii picture of me, done by the best:
Joan Stark!
(Is it encoded?)

Hi Erik... let me know if you get these.  Is this really your new email address?  These archives are from Lorraine- I categorized this last group
for you.... you may want to do the same for the first.  Lorraine is
cleaning out her ascii art files... what better place to keep them than at your site?

BTW, you ought to eliminate you word "small" collection from the first
couple of paragraphs of your main Wicked ASCII Art page!

And finally- how about this for an ascii representation of you?  ;)
