This, by the way, is brilliant - eat your heart out stereograms, this is
the one which is suddenly obvious when you get it.

I had a similar problem (but with less artistic talent) when I was
trying to draw a drunk bear, with a party hat on and a glass by its
paw, as part of a Christmas sig:

      _     
  /:^/ \_/))
*<_o_(\__// 
   D-|\O    

Unfortunately, most people (myself included) think it looks like either
a plane, or a helicopter with the blades missing. Back to the drawing
board...

If anyone's collecting alternatives (sorry some aren't on topic)...

8//=A-, : leg hooked higher (works better on some fonts than others).

   o
  /|
o//=-'  : popular for films...

   o
 .P\ o  : actually, I don't think I should comment on these.

Is this thread now illegal in the US?

Have a seasonal sig, and a happy St. Valentine's Day.

(btw, you'll need a C compiler, if you're not used to my sigs).
