This topic calls for an RFD alt.ascii-art.heritage. The Usenet's hang-out for senior ascii-citizens (dribbling widows and spinner nerds mumbling "QWERTY, QWERTY..."). >On 8 Jan 2002, Mic wrote: >> Targon's ferret has got that vivid grin of prey. >> >> >> _,-/"---, >> ;""""""""""; _/;; "" <@`---v >> ; ::::: :: "\ _/ ;; " _.../ >> ;" ;; ;;; \___/:: ;;,'"""" >> ;" ;;;;. ;; ;;; ::/ >> ,/ / ;; ;;;______;;; ;;; ::,/ >> /;;V_;; ;;; \ / >> | :/ / ,/ \_ "")/ >> | | / /"""= \;;\""= >> ; ;{::""""""= \"""= >> ;""""; >> \/""" > >Hm, in my files Targon's ferret is a bit different. O Master sampler, you probably deja vu :) Went through the Google archives and noticed you had a similar argument with someone called Amykate back in 1999 <37a512c3@news.mdc.net>. Upper was (according to Google) posted here on 3 Apr 1994 by someone called Ermine <2nms2e$66r@xmission.xmission.com>. Below is the "Mustela Furo" in Allen Mullen's Ed Wisniewski collection (http://users.inetw.net/~mullen/). Micsellaneous sources/further reading: Colin Douthwaite ascribes the above to Ermine! on Sat, 28 May 94 09:03:07 +1200. Dave Bird St. Hyppo the Hubbard slayer thinks 1996/06/18 the one with the tildes is made by someone called Brian Thomas . > > _,-/\^---, > ;"~~~~~~~~"; _/;; ~~ {0 `---v > ;" ::::: :: "\_ _/ ;; ~ _../ > ;" ;; ;;; \___/:: ;;,'~~~~ > ;" ;;;;. ;; ;;; :: ,/ > / ;; ;;;______;;;; ;;; ::,/ > /;;V_;; _-~~~~~~~~~~;_ ;;; ,/ > | :/ / ,/ \_ ~~)/ > |:| / /~~~= \;; \~~= > ;:;{::~~~~~~= \__~~~= > ;~~:; ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ > \/~~ > >Targon > >Definately doesn't grin like a prey.

Can't figure out what pic you refer to with all this "this" and "it". To my, recently acquired, knowledge the ferret you posted is probably Targon's. Why argue with Mullen (his site is steady state since '95)? But whodunnit(the_ferret_pic)first? Ed Wisniewski aka Targon is da man probably. Nevertheless... i wouldn't count Ermine out (wasn't she one of Mike Jittlov's devotees?). Brian Thomas is an outsider, but in ascii one day flies are rule. > (( +__u| ) http://www.ascii-art.de (( =, ) (( ' ) (_`reetz, /\/\ic /T /I / |/ | .-~/ T\ Y I |/ / _ /T | \I | I Y.-~/ I l /I T\ | | l | T / T\ | \ Y l /T | \I l \ ` l Y __ | \l \l \I l __l l \ ` _. | \ ~-l `\ `\ \ \\ ~\ \ `. .-~ | \ ~-.
