Hmm just wondering. Haven't been around the last couple of years, but are
the "real" Regulars like Joan and JRO still hanging out here?

Yes you do.
So does Kroog , MJP , b'ger, Lizard , Tran ( He DOES post every day here ) , CJR
, David Palmer , LGB and Peter Punk .. and all the ones I forgot.

Do I count as one ?

and BTW JRO posted "Eeyore" on the 4th this month.

A real regular is a person that have been writing in this group regularly and
for a substantial amount of time.

Joan and JRO have been doing ascii in this group for years , probably since the
beginning.
I would'nt know .. I have only been reading/posting here for about 3 years.

In that respect you f.x are very much a newcomer to this group

your frequent posts attacking other people hardly qualifies you as a regular,
except as a regular ass, in that you seem over qualified.

If I'm not totally wrong, you started out, when I left, so I guess that

When did you leave? (I've been here as long as Joan and longer than
llizard and JRO.)

I think the original poster is looking for people who were here in 1995
or 1996. Bug and Joaquim have only been here a few months.

No. Sandy Morton has been here since the beginning. That's two or three
years before Joan started posting here. Unfortunately that was long
before Deja started with their archive.

It would help a lot if you would *not* snip the attributions. They are

Decide for yourself. How does it feel? You are here
"as long as Joan"? Hm, I definately remember Joan's
first posts so I guess I had been lurking before
that time. Anyway, even though I rather miss the
times of sparkling creativity from 98, a.a-a has in
general not changed all that much.

An Ascii from way back (DOS times):

Ha! Seems like your newsfeed is not as "regular" as you'd like. If you
have really missed the drawings by some of the above - then you haven't
seen much yet. You don't care, right?

Scratch that, I totally misread drsquare. Perhaps because he posts such a
ridiculous quantity that it gets tiresome.

 So, Veronica, David and Joris aren't "real" regulars to you?  Uhm - I
might differ.  And I hope, noone feels left out because I just named
those three ;)   There are many people still in there that I remember
from the time when I first lurked here, and that was also quite a while
ago.

 I wouldn't word it that hard, but yes ;)   And, what even weights
harder to me, I can't remember any ascii's from drsquare - which of
course should be much more important than starting regular rants about
anything.

Unfortunately, you don't contribute to a nice atmosphere. Nor do you inspire
people to draw nice art. I really wonder just _why_ it is that you keep coming
back. All you really do is showing a deep disrespect to anyone. 
Does that really make you feel superior? Or do you still cry in your bed because
you are lonely because no-one can stand to stay in your company for more than
five minutes?

Just wondering.

  Frankly I never said that my ASCII pictures were better than yours.
I said that your posts to date on the alt.ASCII-art group have
consisted mainly of attacks on other people that post here.
Your one redeeming effort is your flatfish comic, and that isn't all
great, you have said so yourself repeatedly in other threads.
The wet fish in the womans crotch joke was juvinile and cannot be
compared to the wit of NerdBoy for example.
You might consider constraining your posts on alt.ASCII-art to ASCII,
eventually you might be considered a regular.

If you are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "idirct";
its absence is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

Great =)

Same thing. The Dr. BluT was the alias he used in the States, while DerBluT
was the original name. =)

So, has he been around lately?

nP

Seems to me, that he's the new PeteCasso (anyone remember him?), right?

Seems Shanaka was here but used a different nickname. I lose track. :)
I've chatted with Joan (and JRO) but she is really slow reading email.
I noticed her site is up and working again.

 Oh, damn me - I knew that I'd forget some truly valueable persons like
Lizard when I start doing a list....

> Do I count as one ?

 Personally I see you as regular, but you are not one of the old
regulars to me.  Not meant as an insult and I would never want to miss
your postings - still remember the mushroom threads and loved it :)  I
guess you know how it's meant.

 Well - and Tran, I haven't seen any of his posting but just in the
replies to it.  Must be some spam-blocking on my newsserver,
fortunately.  I was puzzled and looked into my killfile but he's not
in there.

 So long!

Nah, you were here before Joan, she posted her first ascii a few
months after I posted mine. It was mid'96.

I can agree with "badly drawn" and "has no plot". I started drawing ASCII art
this August, so I'm very much a newbie, and many of the episodes are last minute
work since it's a daily strip (on the website, not here), plus I'm not exactly a
professional writer.

However, "it's about two frames long"? Do you mean that each strip has two
panels? Sure, some of them do, but some of them have five panels.

Do you have any constructive criticism? Except for the comments disturbing the
flow, since the majority seems to like them. "Badly drawn" is good, I can work
on my skill (I hope). "No plot" is probably just due to the fact that NerdBoy is
a series of strips where each strip is supposed to be funny, and not an on-going
story like INSOMNIA.

Btw, do you read any other comic strips?

I don't think it's badly drawn ... It's kept in a minimalistic style I like very
much ... also the minimalism allow you to �make new strips fairly quick , which
is a good thing.

No plot ? .. Ofcourse not .. it's a cartoon !
It's not supposed to have a plot , it's supposed to be funny !
And it does that fairly well.

The king of ascii-art cartoon strips is still "Red Baron" but I like this one
very much.

Considering that , then your work is very impressive.

In short, you're the kind of person who think "lazy" is a synonym for
"effective". Let's start a club! :)

Is there are Red Baron website? I've heard a lot about it, but I've read only a
single cartoon, which I didn't find very funny... :\

I don't remember exactly, but that is possible (I am "older than Deja").
I have a file dated in 1995 with some 3D experiments, and those were not
my first attempts at ascii art:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/ascii/junkyard/creative/3D/experiment_3D

(No, I did not make that cat. I just needed some kind of little "icon"
that I could repeat over and over again.)

There is a website :

One of my favourites is number 108 .. It cracks me up every time I see it.

With any form of communication/art an idea has got to arise from
something or someone of interest. The PROOF might be a short or
a lengthy comic strip ( no further info found ) but two characters
are Frogstein and Birdstein.

Intentionally. I know that I removed the eyes and kept the straps. I originally
thought the straps were the eyes and that he was squinting all the time.

According to how I saw it, this is exactly how he looks with his eyes open in

Really?! In that case, I'm guessing that your definition of "joke" is "something

It seems you lucked out in the your drawing actually looked like something.

The problem is that he x-posts to alt.binaries.ascii-pictures...
This group is regarded as a binary newsgroup and so the posting is
regarded as a binary posting... (At least I think so). As
news.cis.dfn.de aka news.fu-berlin.de does not allow binary postings
(except HTML and VCard) in non binary groups, this posting does not
reach this news server. And "unfortunately" the server does not have
alt.binaries groups, so you can't see it. The server of my university
has the posting, but it keeps alt.* for only one day. :-(

Joan first started posting in 1996, I remember cos I started
a few months later.

Looking back, I think a.a-a has actually changed quite a bit.
Posts earlier than 1996 around the Bob Allison Mike Jittlov
era seemed to be structured by subject ie The subject tag
denotes what the post is about. A bit like some of us use
[pic], they used

Line: for line drawings
Talk: for talking
Info: obviously information

There also seemed to be more artists out there that were
into solid ascii art (not conversions) like Susie Oviatt and
Gilo.

I wonder if any of the reeealy old timers still lurk.
I remember Mike Jittlov answering one of Joans postings
a few years ago.

It makes me wonder how much ascii-art never was archived and
won't ever be seen again!

(I feel like an ascii-archeologist!) ;)

If I do that on a daily basis, I wouldn't get anything else done. Not that I
have a life, but I do have other things to do. A daily cartoon just happens to
be the format I've chosen to do, although things change. I might end up doing a
weekly strip or no strip at all.

No, I really meant that as a request for constructive criticism, not "Can't you
do anything besides abusing?" Unfortunately I can't comment much on Flatfish
since I'm not a cola reader, but I remember thinking that the art was good.


> It's more interesting to have an ongoing story.

To some people. Some people like a daily joke, which is what I'm aiming for with
Nerd Boy.

 Aaah, that explains a *lot*.  I now wonder what other silly threads I
miss now - uhm, forget it, I am not wondering at all, I'm simply glad
about it *hehe*

 I hope I got your quotes around the unfortunately right - that's one of
the main reasons why I have choosen that server.  It's not shitloaded
with binary posts and therefore quite useful to make up a local spool
without too much transfer costs :-))

 So long!

 *gg*   On the other hand, good to see you still around.  I always liked
your pictures, especially I remember your horses...

 I searched in groups.google.com for myself and it seems that my first
post was a silly question at 1998/08/04 about 'illegal' characters[1].
Time changes....
