Arrrgh !  Now comes the big flame...

You should not use non-ASCII characters in Ascii artwork and post it 
unless you UUencode it first...

I have diddled your picture and got rid of the Non-ascii eyes as 
well as rearranging the anatomy and tidying up the signboard.

Really ! ... Please concentrate ! ... Harumph !!!

I have been kind and generous and attributed the artwork to you. No
payment is required for the services rendered.  8-)
