Hello!
I'm new here in this NG and to ASCII art, tryed some things myself but
nothing too good... yesterday when I read the nerd boy episodes, I was
inspired and thought I'd have to make my own ASCII art comic strip...
It's not too good, but... sometime is always the first time...
I just remembered that today is the XBOX start in europe, I didnt think
about that yesterday... :)


-Felix

=== meanwhile in another room ===

                    If I get this fusion reactor working, I'll produce
                   � enough power to generate a black hole...
