does anybody have any others of chevalier's stuff? this seems to be
the only one i have saved:
THE LEGEND OF EL CAPITAN
Brought to Asar by The Tygers
Long long ago there lived in the valley of Ahwahnee two
bear cubs. One hot day, they slipped away from their ____
mother and went down to the river for a swim. When they __ _/ \_ __
came out of the water, they were so tired that they lay | \/ \/ |
down to rest on an immense, flat boulder and fell fast | \ / |
asleep. While they slumbered, the huge rock began to rise \_/ _ _ \_/
slowly until, at length, it towered in the blue sky far | /_\ /_\ |
above the treetops, and wooly white clouds fell over the | \_/\__/\_/ |
sleeping cubs like coverlets. | \/ |
_ | \__/\__/ |
__/~~\-''- _ | The distracted mother bear searched \_ _/
__- - { \ in vain for her two cubs and \____/
/ \ although she questioned every animal
/ ;o o } in the valley, no one could give her a clue
| ; about what happened to them. At last To-tah-kan,
' the sharp-eyed crane, discovered them still
\_ (..) asleep on top of the great rock. Then the mother
''-_ _ _ / bear became more anxious than ever, lest her cubs
/ should awaken and be so frightened that they would
/ jump off and be killed.
( )( )_______
All the other animals in the valley felt sorry /00 \ _
for the mother bear and promised to help rescue O_\\--mm---mm /_______)
the cubs. Gathering together, each attempted to
__ climb the great rock, but it was as slippery as
,-'' `-. glass, and their feet could not hold on. The little field
/\\` _\ , mouse climbed two feet and became frightened; the rat
|\\ (_\/| lost hold and fell backwards after three feet; the fox
` / /-'o `-. went a bit higher, but it was no use. The larger
| / --' animals could not do much better, although they tried
| ( (_/( /_, so hard that to this day, the scratches made by their
/' /\_,-'|`-'/ feet can still be seen at the base of the rock.
| |_.--._|/-' ____
| | , /)` When all had / o \ __
\\_| ,) || given up, along <____ \ / \ _
`--\ |_// came the tiny | | | __ | / \ /^|
|' |__, inch worm. ______|_____|_____|__||__|___|_____|___/_/__
/|\ ` "I believe I can
climb up to the top and bring the cubs down," it courageously
announced. The other animals all sneered and made sport of this boast from one
of the most insignificant of their number, but the inch worm
paid no attention to (_)(_) their insults and immediately began the
dangerous climb. / \ "Too-tak, too-tak, To-takan-oo-lah,"
it chanted, and / | its feet clung even to that polished
surface. / \ * | Higher and higher it went until the
________ / /\__/ animals below began to realize
_ / \ / / /^\/^\ that the inch worm was not
/ \ / ____ \_/ / _|__| O| stupid after all.
//\ \ / / \ / /~ \_/ \
V \ \/ / \ / |__________/ \ Halfway up the large rock

zig-zag course, which made the / / \ \
climb a lot longer, but much / / \ \
safer. Weak and exhausted, / / _----_ \ \
it reached the top of the / / _-~ ~-_ | |
great rock at last, awakened ( ( _-~ _--_ ~-_ _/ |
the cubs, and miraculously \ ~-____-~ _-~ ~-_ ~-_-~ /
guided them safely down to their ~-_ _-~ ~-_ _-~
anxious mother. All the animals ~--______-~ ~-___-~
were overjoyed with the return of the
cubs, and loudly sang the praises of the inch worm. As a token of honor the
animals decided to name the great rock To-tokan-oo-lah after the inch
worm.
"These stories and poems are put together by Chevalier, although in most
instances, he did not write the stories or draw the art. His talent is in
choosing the materials and in putting them together. For this we say
thank you."

My technique is to check the chat when I log in, then check back while I'm reading news.
