Not so small:

ejm97    -         -          -         -

very small:

But this is my favourite by an unknown artist --I got it from the sig of

-> Miss Kitty, please stop passing off all this work as your own.
Nowhere in my post, did I say that *I* was the artist!
I never pass off anyone's work as my own, so I really resent
that implication!

I found these in some old files, and I posted them. They
did not have the intials on them when I found them.

Would you rather have some old art missing intials posted
in alt.ascii-art, or more get-rick quick spam?

Oh look - here's another without initials:

              �  ��     ��   �        � �  �   �     �
If anyone knows who made this, I'd be happy to add the intials
to it, but I did NOT draw this. This is NOT my work. I am
NOT passing it off as my work.

Good enough disclaimer?

All I know is that you should probably read the FAQ's, because those
charcters shouldn't be posted in here. *S*

Like I should be saying this. And as if there isn't enough friction
going on already.

Nevermind! Just ignore me. *S*

Miss Kitty, Miss Kitty, Miss Kitty!

Not only does it not have initials, but there is not one standard
character in it. Here is a little reminder about what characters are
used in ascii-art.
(I'm surprised you haven't seen any mention of standard and non-standard
characters. You've been around in here for a while.)

And yes, that was quite sufficient as a disclaimer.

And just to keep this somewhat on-topic, here is another artist's
bicycle:

    ___         _
     \         / )
      =========
  ___/ \     / \___
 /  /\  \ ] /  /\  \
(  q-----( )  (  o  )
 \___/    [    \___/

(Does anyone know who did it?)

Yup.

You may want to take a more active role in finding credit, though. I
have never seen a posting of yours that had initials.

If I had that much free time, I wouldn't be spending it to
satisfy small-minded pissants like you. And for the record,
I've posted plenty of stuff with intials! Here's one now,
just for you....

        The fleecy cloud may kiss the sky.
        The rose may kiss the butterfly.
        The morning dew may kiss the grass.
        And you my friend may...
