Fokker D.VII

Designed by Reinhold Platz, the D.VII was chosen over several other designs
during a competition held in January and February 1918. Baron Manfred von
Richthofen, the famous Red Baron, flew the prototype, designated V11.

Actually, I was thinking of that too. But the more I thought about it
the more I wondered: exactly how would they go about that? I mean, let's
say the average Red Baron Cartoon has five panels. With small type,
maybe two panels could fit to a page, and they would be read this way:

 ____________   ____________
|            '.'            |
|             |             |
|  Panel 1    |  Panel 3    |
|             |             |
|             |             |
|  Panel 2    |  Panel 4    |
|             |             |
|____________ | ____________|
'------------'.'------------'

etc etc etc

Aw, shucks!  I hope I can keep it up!  Well, I will as long as I won't
run out of ideas.  (Though if a life or a more demanding job creeps up
on me it'll push down the present pace.)

Thanks!  (Of course I've decided he'll always be flying a triplane in the
cartoons, and it'll always be around 1917--the same way that it's always
around 50 B.C. in the Asterix comics, halfway between Vercingetorix's de-
feat and Caesar's assassination.)

I know!  I know!

It's ideal for online-publishing and people like myself as a target
group.  (I live pretty much in the paperless office myself.  My print-
er gave up the ghost half a year ago, and I didn't even notice for
about four months.)  If e-business were working that could be a solu-
tion for actually making some money out of this.  As for advertising--
banners between <pre>-tagged text would stick out like a sore thumb.
Hmm!

Basically I do the stuff in ascii because it's the only way I can cre-
ate graphics fast enough which just about please my own sense of aes-
thetics.  And I feel unable to put it in any standardized or even
printable format because, well, you can't when you're having fun liv-
ing in the eye of a brainstorm.

Combining creativity with business sense isn't exactly my forte.  (Ac-
tually combining it with anything much isn't!)
