It's excellent - a masterpiece.

Committed is the right word alright *g*

It's not a prerequisite for enjoyment, that you understand the background for 
the "To the moon Alice!" comment.

It works either way too.

Yeah it's an oldie .. but a good one.
Some of your pictures only get posted in d.a.r.a , so I've begun to read that 
too .. and even post a bit. You might have noticed.
Or not .. I asked you a question there , you didn't answer.

BTW I went by your webpage today and saw all your great work (and felt bad about 
not updating my own webpage)

The font however looked wrong to me .. So I changed browser and found that it 
looks right in IE , but for some reason Firebird (which I use) renders the font 
slightly larger which doesn't look quite right.

Could you modify the stylesheet to specify the font size so it looks right ?

Also a tip .. some people prefer a different font for viewing ascii-art.
With alternate stylesheets you can give the visitor a choice between fonts (and 
all other styles if you wish)

Modern browsers support this.

As an example here a snip from Mozillazine.org that offers an extra stylesheet 
called afterdark that visitors can choose.
The code is simple :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/frontpage.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="AfterDark" href="/afterdark.css" 
type="text/css">

The first <link> is the default stylesheet
The rel="alternate stylesheet" in the second specifies an alternate stylesheet.

You could put another viewfont in this .. or choose to display white on black.

Christian :)
