This was drawn while I was in Veronica's chat waiting for her to
respond. I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to be, but it looks
like some sort of big cat to me. It's on the six line page as a

Here's my first attempt at some ASCII art while I had some spare time. I
could say it is a self porttrait but I don't have that many parenthesis
on my face. :)
Had a lot of trouble getting the arms folded right. I'm reasonably happy
with the chubby face, but because it is fairly simple someone else might
already have done it.

Reiner, Looks a little like an Australian brand 'icon', Chesty Bonds. Used here for years to sell t-shirts and singlets (sleeveless t-shirts?), perhaps also (not 100% sure) based on a generic Australian surf life saver - recently re-released with a scary computer-animated gimp-like clone that IMHO failed to capture the 50s 'cheeze' of the original. Kinda like what happened to Godzilla. Make the head a bit more 'human', with curly blond hair, and a dopey great grin, and you'd be in copyright infringement territory! A sure sign you're on the right track. Alex 4.0 > Here's my first attempt at some ASCII art while I had some spare time.
