If it isn't the 400th strip. This is getting ridiculous. It
seems kind of fitting that this one harks back to the olden

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.

You are so right. 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.

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 :-)

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.

I just watched that ST:TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" - so this strip 
prompted the thought of a NB episode where Nerd Boy doesn't exist in the 
current reality, coming through a rift in time to this reality meeting 
Mandy for the first time... or something.
