It's been a looooooooong time since I last did any ascii art, but I recently started a newsletter, and I needed a title graphic for it. Well, I sat down and came up with: __________________________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||| .///` \||/ `\\\. _____||| ||| .///` _..--`||`--.._ `\\\. /COOK/||| ||| .///` _.-'` `'-._ `\\\./BOOK/ ||| ||| .///` _.-` . `-._ `\/____/ /||| ||| .///` .` .` . .` `. |____|/ ||| ||| .///` .` .' .' `. `. .' `. `\\\. ||| |||///` . . `. `. `. `. .'
