 Ok, I admit, I just discovered ASCII art just a few days ago by
stumbling upon figlet page and I was impressed.  Then I found Joan
Stark's page and was even more impressed.  Since I'm interested in
ferrets, I ambitiously decided to try to make one of my own.  I found
that it was much more difficult than I expected.  So, I decided to put
in a plea to the experts.  I've included my attempt at a ferret as proof
I tried, and so that y'all can have a good laugh.  Thanks!

Amy

It's a nice ferret, but there are non-ASCII characters in it. I've
replaced them with #'s. (On this terminal I'm on right now I can't even
see what they're supposed to be - all it shows are black boxes.)

This is the best fix I can come up with:
                                             _     _

Amy, please consult this character chart
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/asciichart.htm#top
to see which characters you can use.

And here is a ferret by Ed Wisneiwski aka Targon I just came across:

                                       _,-/\^---,

I happen to think that that is a WONDERFUL ferret! I could not do better.
