If it isn't the 400th strip. This is getting ridiculous. It
seems kind of fitting that this one harks back to the olden
days of Mandy/NB violence. Kind of a nice tribute, I guess.

Thanks guys. You really should stop inflating my ego like this. Still, if it weren't for you, Nerd Boy probably wouldn't exist today. obascii: (nerd boy not existing) -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

I hope it'll be as cool as 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 turned out to be. 128 was obviously on purpose, but the others are unintentionally some of my favourites. 4 and 2 are pretty OK too, I guess. Rather experimental. obascii: ,,, '.. .>>. bb (an experiment gone wrong) -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg
Joaquim G�ndara > > obascii: > ,,, > '.. > .>>. > bb > > (an experiment gone wrong) This and the other funny obascii today show that inflating your ego is a very successful experiment. It's really grotesquely funny, how you play with these little ASCII-symbols. Every fan recognizes the legs of Nerd Boy and soon after the very rest, while on the very first sight everything seems normal, while "a little strange" and I asked myself, "what does he mean by 'gone wrong'?". I don't want to pump up anybody's ego, but artists need an ego: whoelse could do their art otherwise :-) Ob-ASCII little pig diving: _ __ c, ,p_____ _____(_)_)______ _____________ ___'__._-___ RwR R@ineR

Btw what does Ob-ASCII mean ? > > from the alt.acsii-art FAQ: http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/faq.html ======================================================================== [18] What does ObAscii mean? ======================================================================== ObAscii = Obligatory Ascii Obligatory: [adj] compulsory (of a ruling) having binding force Ascii: [slang] ascii-art picture A funny way to remind people to put a drawing in their post. This means an ascii in every post! (especially off-topic threads) Failure to comply can result in flaming! This implies that if you don't include an ascii in your post you deserve to get flamed! It is to be a new ascii-art which takes longer but allows time to collect your thoughts and gives bystanders something to look at. ==================================================================== The concept of ObAscii has been around since the creation of the usenet group news:alt.ascii-art and it's purpose is to provide some on-topic content to an otherwise off-topic posting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ObASCII: ______________________________________ |[x]________Message Reply___________[-]| | *Send* | Address | Check | Save | | Msg | Book | Spelling | Msg | |From:________________________________ | |To:__________________________________ | |Subject:_____________________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |______________________________________| a message reply window
