Hi everyone at alt.ascii-art! my name is Kyle Matthews, I'm 13 years of
age, and I'm new to this forum. Below is my first attempt at an ASCII
art "comic". I created it from b'ger's "sneezing woman" picture (at
least I think it was his =P). Please reply and tell me what you think.
Thanks!
AHH-CHOOOOO!! GAH!!

Before you buy.
This is Kyle Matthews again, and I'm sending a message from Free Agent (which I
have just downloaded). I put in the same comic below, and if it looked all weird
before, it won't now. Please reply and tell me what you think. Thanks!
