This piccy appears to be relatively dependant on the font in which it
is viewed. If anyone can be bothered to try lots of fonts...
Supposed to be a canoist about to drop down a waterfall... No-one else
can see it, though.

Impending doom. Nice. This could probably be animated quite nicely...
I'll work on that.You could have the canoist not making any progress
whatsoever, as the river rushed past. That would be cool... Just
wavering, left and right... Got to get worn out some time soon...
