This is made from a repeating ascii art tile 27 columns wide. This
means that it is ever so slightly too large to get three across the
page, but I cropped it slightly.

Well, it's a matter of personal preference and opinion... You like the "GIF" style -- and that's fine. There are others that like it too. To me, it looks OK from a distance and with light text on a dark background. It isn't my style or preference... And I wouldn't necessarily say that 'line art' is easier. That is evidenced by many people attempts at it. Agreed, some results are less than satisfactory... but then again, some results are less than satisfactory with the 'GIF' style as well. In any case, I think that both styles can co-exist with one another... let's just not get into a battle over which is better. OK? :) .-""""""-. .'
