First Attempt =)

Very nice!  I added a "(" to define the back leg a bit.

This was my first attempt at ASCII art, my second was the mink that I
posted in reply to someone else's request.

   ;\

  `\~ `\          
   |    \  /^'.   
   `|    \ :;^`    
    |     ;,'         
   "   --'

Neat! Looks great. =) Thanks. Hmm, I originally hadn't used an ` in it,
because I was using it in some coding on a MU*, and it wouldn't accept them.

I coded an archaeology project in MicroMUSE that included quite a bit of
ASCii art from the folks here. I found I could use any normal ASCii
symbol. After much experimenting, I found that making each object into a
text file then using @spittext was the best way to handle ASCii art. It
did require the help of a sysop to put the textfiles onto the computer.
I also have a couple of objects that I coded the art onto before I
stumbled across this method. 

You can get to MicroMUSE via telnet guest.musenet.org then login as
guest. Ask a mentor to take you to #9471 to check out the art. My
on-line name is Puck. If I'm around, I'd be glad to make things visible
so you can see the coding.

I was putting it into MPI on a MUCK, to be exact, and even with
{lit:`} --and so forth, it doesn't want to accept them. ;>
