Hello. I have just drawn my first ASCII picture. Unfortunately,
everyone I show it to doesn't understand what it is.
So I'll ask here, you people being professionals at this
kind of thing. Is it really that incomprehensible?

No, it isn't at all incomprehensible, at least I could figure it out straight away. I think it's good.

I went looking in the google group archives for reactions very first ASCII
Art Fart.  It's interesting how Tran's simple persistence changed the Art
