· 6 messages · 2 Jun 2005 - 4 Jun 2005
Below you have episode #006 of a new ASCII comic which will hit your
computer screens starting with July 1st. Please tell me if you like it,
what I should do to improve ti (graphics, etc), and stuff like that.
Basically, it focuses on a stone-age family - Fartstone (I know, cheap
rip-off), and its adventures. So, here we go:
[btw, it would be great if somehow you could view it on font courier
10; but your normal newsgroup-fixed font should do]

Keep 'em coming. However, I can't figure out what the above is? (You should reduce your line length too. Lest the pictured get deformed when we subsequently butcher them with disgusting sexual references.... and such) ;-) Carry on OBASCII: Prehistoric weapon of mass destruction (rock) / / .
"However, I can't figure out what the above is?" What do you mean when you say "the above"? Something in the last panel?

ROFL!! Sorry, I can't but laugh at my own stupidity! I should have known better than directly posting episode 6 on the forum. You can't possibly have known what graphics in the last two panels meant, because they were different from the ones in the first four. The last two panels show a guy (i.e. Fred Fartstone) in a gym or something (at his house). He is standing upside down, in some form of exercise. This is how he looks non-upside-down (note that this is not Nerdboy-like graphics): \ | / <- pointy hair | .. <- beady eyes | ` <- sharp nose \ | <- straight chin | etc.. /+\ Hopefully, the next couple of strips I'll post here (in a week or so) will be more relevant. :D
