Nah, the first article in the thread was called "Job Hunting."  The
second I called "Red Baron."  And the third I then called "R.B.Pt.3."

Surely "The Spirit of Richthofen" (or "Der Geist von Richthofen").

That is where Manfred "Der rote Baron" von Richthofen came from.

provoked the following text:

>           |   Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo    |
>            \ 'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio...  /

LOL!!! I used to think the lyrics went: "Jambalaya across the sky, oh me, oh
maya." :-)))

 Ool, you are one of the persons I missed during my absence to the group
:-))   Keep on drawing, please.  I think I'll find a little more time to
lurk and even draw for this group with my new job.  I just have to
convert my newsrc file to the new server (Randal Schwartz himself wrote
a genious perl script in one of the last linux-magazine's for this
special task, so it shouldn't be too complicated *eg*)

 Have fun!
Alfie

There was a program I must still have lying around that did that.  But
right now the simpler solution would be:  Go to the Microsoft website
and upgrade to IE/OE version 5.5.  It's no longer inserting any unde-
sired protocol labels over here ever since I've done that.  (Looks
like they've had a few complaints.)

Thanx!!

 OOL, thank you very much for the Red Baron series.  It is absolutely
 brilliant.  As any fule soon find out, the hard part of cartooning
 is not the pictures of people -- which can be very simply drawn --
 but scripting a consistently funny script from week to week.

Thanks!  That's why I posted it early.  I had this thing finished and
was about to go out for chow, and I thought, there's a slight chance
that I might get run over by a truck outdoors and then nobody but me
would have seen it.  So I posted it right away.

> I really like it!!:)

And I'm depressed.  How am I going to top this?  Oh, well!

This is the one I used:

http://www-fa.c4systm.com/Fine-art/Lichtenstein_Roy/whaam.jpg

It's kinda funny, the way Lichtenstein simulated the crude offset
print texture by actually painting every single dot manually.  Well, I
think he used a template to spray through, but still...

Thought of it too late, the earliest one left in my news database is
#16.. Are the cartoons stored in a central place somewhere or do I
have to use Deja?

And all in one massive (now 460k) File at:

http://neil.franklin.ch/Usenet/alt.ascii-art/20000805_Red_Baron

I am thinking of sorting them in groups of 10 to make them more
download friendly. If I do, there will be an index in the first file.


Above file ist just one of 330 Threads archived at:

                      FLY WHERE THE CLOUDS ARE



                  Wind's north-east on tarmac four
                  When I hear her engine start up,
                   My ears ringing from its roar,
                 As her passing lifts my heart up.

                 Through a veil of rain she bolts,
                  Racing down the quaking runways,
                   until off she takes and floats
                       irresistibly sunways.

                      Fly where the clouds are
                  And not even the sky's the limit.
             When a clean, white blanket buries up there
           All our fears and all our worries, that's where
               Everything that seemed important to us
                       Turns to far-away fuss.


                     For a long time I just gaze
                 As she takes the towering clouds on,
                     While the murky, rainy haze
                   Dims her lights out one by one.

                      Long ago my eyes have lost
                  That faint dot she had become, when
                     Finally all I heard was just
                     Her propeller softly humming.

                     After silence falls I stroll,
               Draped in clothes the slush keeps soiling.
                   Wafting down from flight control
                  There's the smell of coffee boiling.

                     Puddles spiked with gasoline
                    Make an ersatz-rainbow glisten.
                     Clouds, reflected deep within,
                  Make me wish that I were with them.

"THE SPIRIT OF SALZGITTER" ? You don't happen to come from Lower Saxony,
do you ? ;)

Nah, Upper Palatinate!  L.S. is just where the money for that particu-
lar plane came from.


(For an explanation of that joke take a guided tour through the Smith-
sonian in Washington D.C.  They explain it to you underneath Lind-
bergh's "Spirit of St. Louis.")

I feel bad!  I really should have credited the original art ripped off
in that cartoon:



             "Enemy Ace" original art (c) 1965 Joe Kubert
                     http://www.kubertsworld.com/



After all it's not as well known and as public domain as Liechten-
stein.  Well, at least I added those lines in my Web version...
http://home.t-online.de/home/ulrich.schreglmann/redbaron/Red%20Baron%20091.txt

Does anyone know if Kubert's "Enemy Ace" comics from the sixties are
available as collections today?  I found the "War Idyll" graphic novel
by George Pratt for sale online, but no Kubert.

--(Once apon a time, in alt.ascii-art,)--
		--(Ool said it like only they can.)--

after seeing this it occured to me that i have never seen
a parody of this style befor but that i should have at some point
in my life.

Did you get this idea from some place?
Or are you the first person in 50 years to see this X O metaphor?

This one occurred to me independently, in the middle of the night, on-
ly a half hour before I posted the finished product.  (I was unable to
sleep, mainly because the strip I had originally planned just wasn't
funny or sequitur enough, after elaborate #91.)

#61 had its share in triggering it.

And I should add that #61 was in turn inspired by Richthofen's ac-
counts themselves:

I get an error following that URL in NS Navigator - I think it's the space
characters, NS displays them as spaces and I get a 404 error page (but a very
pretty one) from your webspace provider.

Can I ask you pander to us NS users and take out the spaces?

Unfortunately the above cartoon strip has a design flaw in itself!
That's why I guess this is as good a time as any to go off on a tan-
gent explaining how the whole Red Baron cartoon idea came about.




"Snoopy" and "The Peanuts!"

Thank you for your attention!














More specifically the initial spark for the idea of maybe four or five
cartoons in news:alt.ascii-art is derived from the funny mental image
I've had years ago--the one that has been a running gag in the series
ever since:


        "What if the notches in the Red Barons's airplane
        for every enemy he's shot down were of the crossed-
        out shape of "Flying Ace" Snoopy on his doghouse?"

        .  &  ,   .  &  ,   .  &  ,   .  &  ,   .  &  ,
         `/_\'     `/_\'     `/_\'     `/_\'     `/_\'
        ,'|_|`.   ,'|_|`.   ,'|_|`.   ,'|_|`.   ,'|_|`.

        .  &  ,   .  &  ,
         `/_\'     `/_\'
        ,'|_|`.   ,'|_|`.


This would look funny even on the sides of an airplane or a suburban
assault vehicle of today.

Unexpectedly, however, I received just enough flattery and encourage-
ment about the first few cartoons to keep my ego well-fed and to keep
it up until today.  Thanks, Mike!  Thanks, Fulgore!  Thanks, everyone!


What did NOT spark the idea for the cartoons was any interest in WWI
or early aerial dogfights.  I think wars are like car crashes--best
when watched from a safe distance, and preferable if fictional.


The lack of research I had done also lead to the completely inaccurate
early renderings of the Red Baron's airplane.  I derived those solely
from my recollection of a few war movies I had seen years before, and
otherwise just my imagination and some educated guesses.


One of those educated guesses was the idea that in order to keep one's
own propeller out of the line of fire the pair of machine guns must be
mounted far apart, as depicted in cartoons #18, #27, and #34.  On the
other hand in those many drawings displaying the airplane from the
side it looked PERSPECTIVELY as if the guns were shooting RIGHT
THROUGH the propeller.  And that's what brought about the above car-
toon.  (Wings are never shown because I couldn't think of a way to in-
sert them without obscuring everything.)


But then even the first minimal research I did revealed that the guns
were indeed mounted within the diameter of the propeller, while a SYN-
CHRONIZATION DEVICE, designed by Anthony Fokker himself, keeps the
bullets from being shot while the rotor blades are in the way.


Unfortunately I need the above cartoon in order to start off the next
plotline.  So instead of dumping it altogether I've decided to modify
it just enough to comply with the newly found facts...

Of course, now it's no longer funny, but then, you can't have every-
thing!

They did?  Well, I only sort of scanned the article about the German
planes--maybe I misread the purpose of the synchronization device in
that one, too.  I can understand a propeller could be built to with-
stand the odd bullet, but isn't there a non-negligible danger in that
of stray ricochets backfiring at plane and pilot?

I'm wondering whether it would be embarrassing if I got that one
wrong.  I mean, first people find out they can't rely on such little
details, and next thing they notice R.B. never went to the Moon, ei-
ther.

Pretty soon then I may get forced to cancel the strip on charges of
recklessly misleading the public, or something...

 Hmmm.  I think "armouring the propeller" might be a bit
 of a myth. Albert Ball's plane was a two seater, and the 
 NAVIGATOR fired the machine gun -- back along the line
 of flight.  (I expect some of them may have had extra
 struts so the guns could be wing-mounted).  Synchro continues 
 to be the pattern for the cannon on the ME109 etc, while
 allied planes tended to use wing-mounted.

Ool, are you saying that the strip is not based entirely on fact???
Eeeeek!!! Now I'm going to fail History for sure! I was going to quote
several of the cartoons for my thesis which is due tomorrow. It has
already been sent to the printer too.

I know!!! This is North America. I'll sue! Does anyone know a good

Germans did indeed invent a synchro, which allowed them to shoot through
the propeller. Allies took alot longer to get one.
So... either they had an observer shooting, say in a rear turret...
or then had a high gun, mounted on top of the top wing (usually).
Some people had guns shooting through the propeller with armour plated
blades.

Yes, there is a danger of being killed by your own bullet's ricochet.
However when life expectancy is 2 weeks, does it make that much of a
difference?

The thought occurs, could that be why the life expectancy is 2 weeks?

God, they must have been brave knowing that not only were the other side out to
get them, but also that each bullet they fired had a decent chance of killing
them...

I don't think so. My source ("Reaching for the Skies", 1988 by Ivan Rendall,
german edition) says the following (paraphrased and translated):

  "What the pilots of the single seaters wanted, was a gun firing directly to
the front, above or THROUGH [my emphasis] the propeller. The french manufacturer
Raymond Saulnier experimented with a breaker mechanism which only fired the
gun if the propellor was outside the line of fire. ... This was too unreliable.
Together with the former racing pilot Roland Garros he then developed a system
of deflection plates mounted on the propeller. ... on April 1st 1915 the system
was first tested by Roland Garros. ... Although the system was a bit clumsy, but it
worked. ...
  One day in July 1915 Anthony Fokker demonstrated his newly developed E1 monoplane
to the german Luftwaffe. ... He had constructed a synchronization device which
allowed the pilot to fire throught the porpeller..."

Did the allies use synchro? My aviation history book claims that only

All of them. At the begin of the war. Expensive in personnel and bad
at aiming.

Brits. They also used an barrel through the hollow propeller axle.

French. Invented by Roland Garros. Only after his landing behind enemy
lines did the germans find out about the idea. Anthony Fokker then
came up with the better synchro idea.

Actually the "armor" was an deflector, that knocked the bullet onto an
side-/up-ways track, away from the plane.

That would be average, mainly dragged down by newbie pilots killed in
first contact. If they survived 1 month they usually survived the
entire war (at least that was so in WWII).

BTW: The Red Baron was shot down on 21. April 1918 flying an Fokker

You are within historic fact, even chosing the right side for the synchro.

 OK, I stand corrected.  Obviously from a fighter pilot's POV he
 wants to "fly by the gunsight" i.e. pretty much shoot where 
 he looks and instinctively roll a very unstable / manoeuvrable
 plane wherever he needs in order to do so.  The ideal is a synchro,
 straight through the propeller, so he fires where he looks.

 Setting the wing-mount guns on a Spitfire to converge at 300ft
 is looking for kind of the same effect: he has to remember the
 ideal distance, then he is essentially firing where he looks.


 As other people have pointed out,  a gun fired by the rear observer
 or gun(s) mounted on the top wing of a biplane  were a common 
 substitute.

where did you get an idea like that?
halloween has never hadd heathen roots
it was started as a markiting event in the late 60's by
companies like M&M mars, hearsy, the major movie studios of 
the time, and last but not least dental docters as a means of 
selling more candie and pulp movie foder that could be rereleased at
the same time each year to be milked as a cash cow
the dentists where the ones who gave the idea for this "holiday" (one that
we dont get off from work on) as a means to get more kids hooked on
the tch like compounds in chocolit and suger so that they could
generat more revenu from the repeat dental visits

> Have I missed a story here too?

Only what some consider the Mother of All Playboy Jokes.  I've heard
a few references to it in my life, so it must be a staple.  Last ref-
erence I heard was in a quip about a literary contest sponsored by
Playboy.  (From a monologue by Conan:)  "And the winner will be the
author who can write the most gripping story about a traveling sales-
man whose car gets stuck the middle of a blizzard."


The Joke:

 Ed, a traveling salesman, had his car break down in the middle of a
blizzard.  He trudged to a nearby farmhouse where the farmer told him that,
while they were short of beds, he could sleep with his daughter.  She proved
to be eighteen and beautiful.   So they went to bed, and shortly, Ed made a
pass at the daughter.  "Stop that!" she said.  "I'll call my father."
 He desisted.  But half an hour later he made another attempt.  "Uh,
stop ... that," she said.  "I'll call my father."
 But she moved closer to him, so he made a third try.  This time, no
protest, no threat.  Just as Ed, satisfied, was about to drowse off, she
tugged at his pajama sleeve.  "Could we do that again?" she asked.
 Ed obliged, and this time fell asleep only to be awakened by the
tug at his sleeve.  "Again?"
 And again Ed obliged.  But when his sleep was once more interrupted
by the tugging at his pajama sleeve, Ed indignantly pulled it away from her
and mumbled, "Stop that!  Or I'll call your father."





Of course I'm behind again, but I need a day's rest before I can pick
up the thread where I've left off.  And I DID get the "Read Baron"
hint.  Misspelling "led" was a mistake born out of fatigue.  I'm not
going to correct such oversight errors in my website, though, mainly
because if I began remedying little things as these I wouldn't know
where to stop, and soon I'd be paralyzed by the effort of correcting
the archives again and again to fit the predictions of Big Brother.

ROTFLMAO !!
I love it .. I absolutely LOVE it !

I nominate this : The best ascii-cartoon of the year !
(Speaking of which .. how about a awardshow like the oscars .. where we once a year pick the best
ascii's made that year ? )

I'm printing this one out and mailing to all my friend who thought ascii was weird .. not art and a
waste of time.

In short .. Beautyful work !

Hello!  Yesterday I first managed to damage my computer's configura-

the trenches plot just now.  Here's some quickly done filler instead:

The @$#% T-Online newsserver has been down since Monday, which is
why I got me a temporary Deja account.  The FTP access for updating
my website is also down.  And the support line to the provider is
constantly occupied.  Well, whatever--here's the next cartoon:

 It's brilliant. 
I think Red Baron is going to be a classic just like Asterix

Yo!  Fulgore told me about another newsserver to get an account at.
They don't permit aliases there, so full name it is for the time be-
ing.

On with the plot...

OH JOY!  The newsserver is working again!

--or not!

No, this time it's just a problem with Outlook Express and header line
lengths.  Where's that Deja account...

The recent troubles aren't the reason I'm behind, though.  Instead con-
voluted plotlines are, that are a pain to draw.  I'm not going to aban-
don this one, though!  Enjoy!

OH JOY!  The newsserver is working again!

--or not!

No, this time it's just a problem with Outlook Express and header line

The recent troubles aren't the reason I'm behind, though.  Instead con-
voluted plotlines are, that are a pain to draw.  I'm not going to aban-
don this one, though!  Enjoy!

 Funnily enough I was just watching a TV programme on w.w.1  tanks.  

 They didn't have the rotating top-mount turret as yet, and they
 didn't have a very large calibre gun (or anywhere to put it).


 Inside was basically a heavy tractor centrally with gangways either
 side of it, and it moved quite slowly.  The large crew fired 
 machineguns and 20mm cannons out of various parts of it, including
 "bumps" in the side for side-firing guns.

 Tanks needed firm ground, not mud.  Many were lost to artillery fire
 -- they only really had BULLET proof armour -- or bogging down.  
 They were vulnerable in closed spaces and definitely needed infantry
 following on to prevent close-in attacks.  Like cavalry, they could
 drive forward an advance but were poor in holding a captured position.

I know, I know.  I have lots of pictures of WWI tanks here, and after
tracing the actual tanks of the Tiananmen square video they didn't
look satisfactory.  So I traced a WWI tank, but it wasn't recognizable
as a tank (to me) before I drew a large barrel on top.  If you look
closely you will notice the barrel isn't really mounted in a turret;
it just sort of sticks out.  But who cares--at least a person will
take one look at THESE and say: "Aha, tanks."

>  [lots of info on WWI tanks]

Thanks a lot!  I didn't know most of that.

Well, yes it could.  Complete with shopping bag.  I modeled it not ex-
actly from this image--
http://www.christusrex.org/www1/sdc/ps60a.jpg
--but one almost like it, also from the Web, though I forgot where.

Of course, just for a straight political or historical comment I could
never get myself to do this.  There has to be a punch line involved.
But clip away the speech balloon, replace the caption and you have a
beautiful ascii version of Tiananmen, June 4, 1989.

That reminds me so much of a computer game I had... Sopwith II ...
(Apparently there's still a considerable following for it, it has a
newsgroup that's got traffic)

Again ! A killer comic .. although I think you should have use a better foot.
I remeber a monty python foot being posted about a year ago + - 1 month .. that looked
exactly like the "foot of god" .. I was dicussing monty python with someone .. and i
belive the foot was an OBascii

Well, it was supposed to be both a Python reference and one on the
fact that R.B.'s squads were indeed called "Flying Circuses."

The last panel is originally an army boot, stomping down on Europe.
But I used the BMP2ASCII tool in Meph's Ascii-Editor, which isn't too
good, and then I felt the picture was too large and cut off lots of
lines at the top.  As a result the thing now looks like a generic
shoe.  Oh, well!

Oh man!  You make me yearn even more for Cartoon Network!  (It's been
gone from free satellite TV for a few months now, and it takes a while
for the withdrawal symptoms to kick in!  I really have to find some
addresses where I can download American TV--unspoilt by the @#$*ing
dubbing conspiracy!  What am I having a DSL modem and flatrate for,
after all?)

No, seriously, it's supposed to be a mixture of that fake Russian ac-
cent in User Friendly
http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20001106&mode=classic
and the fact that you couldn't argue about the definition of the word
"is" in Po-Russki, because there really is no "is" in Russian.  (At
least not in everyday speech.)

And, BTW, there WERE Russian soldiers at the Western Front.  I have no
idea how many, but that is a fact I've come by during my half-@$$ed
excuse for research.

This time around I was torn from my beloved accustomed surroundings
without prior notice, so I couldn't post any cartoons in advance.  But
then I thought--why not use that crappy machine they have in THIS
place?  Serious behavioral pattern break--WHEW!!  Is this as good as
it gets?  I really ought to lie down!  The fact that these guys
haven't updated from Outlook Express 4.x isn't helping, either!

I swear, I'll never again use someone else's computer!  You change
something simple like the screen resolution and before you know it
you're open to attack because THEY can't set it back!  Computers can
be hard to handle.  People even more so.  But NEVER put yourself in a
position where you have to try and negotiate between man and machine!
They hate each other!  It's like hosting the Israeli peace talks--all
of a sudden you're in the crossfire from both sides!

Sysadmins and tech support have it tough!  I would make a clever re-
mark now about admiring C3PO, but that's hard when you've just come
home from a bunch of people whose heads Star Wars references go over
entirely, and who just look askance at you if you make them anyway.

Was there anything else?

Oh, right!  Cartoon...

You're telling me.. Helpdesk work can sometimes be extremely frustrating, to

Hmmm... Just to be pointing it out: Bomb-bays in a WW1 plane are
somewhat - hmmm - unusual ;-))

But then, It's "just" a cartoon, so that doesn't matter much,
probably...

Yeah, they had these cupholders and crosshair sights pointing straight
down.  When the target was in the crosshair they'd open the underside
of the cupholder, with the bomb inside.

But you try and DRAW that in an ascii cartoon so people who don't KNOW
that still recognize the goings-on.

Like the tanks in #111.  They DID start out as WWI tanks, but even *I*
didn't recognize them at that resolution without a turret and visible
wheels between the chain belts.

I'm going for quantity here.  Sometimes artistic license is in order,
which is another way of saying:  "I'm too incompetent/lazy not to
suck!"

It has a Matrox driver, with that option already available in the "Ad-
vanced"-section.  The icon is there.  They just don't know what it
does.  Well, I can understand how they feel from the time when I had
to fight with Unix's X-Windows, which offers so many ways of doing
things different it's almost a guarantee that you won't find your way
around another person's desktop.

I like Open-Source.  The main problem is just that they make standards
on all levels a matter of personal preference and therefore quasi of
religion.  At least in Windows you can say, in certain areas, "this is
how it is," and won't have to start arguing deontics, how it SHOULD be.

OH, thanks a lot!  I had that one on my last machine, but then I for-
got the name.  Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

If it's Win95 get PowerToysd from Microsoft. That includes "Quickres" which is a
lil icon that sits in the taskbar that you can easily change resolutions with.
There's also "EzDesk" which will remember a different desktop layout for each
resolution.

Yes, and once you manage to tame it to do *exactly* what you want you
feel very good about it!   :-)
