It used to be Skydancer's sig, and she got it from a Penauts ascii-art
collection somewhere.

Actually the original artist is Charles Schulz, interpreted into ASCII form by
Win Kang.  I'm not being sarcastic -- I find it very funny, almost hypocritical,
whenever an ASCII artist gets offended when their initials have been removed,
all the while they never bothered to credit their source or reference in the
first place.  Does the fact that it should be common knowledge make it "O.K"?  

Once again, I digress...

Maybe I think to radically ;)

Hmm...  is it really that radical?

But then, shall we examine Warhol's famous soup can. Who gets credit for
that? Warhol? The original graphic artist for Campbell's soup?

Isn't it interesting that it was around the same time last year that we
had a similar discussion in a thread entitled "Ascii-artists". I
remember throwing myself into the flames for making the point that one
of Joan's renditions of Bambi was actually a copy of a drawing from the
Disney studio (maybe even the great Walt himself did it).

That's why I usually try to stay away from copying and blunder into
doing my own. (This is not meant to detract from or belittle in any way
the excellent ASCII-copies of drawings by Disney, Boynton, Waterson,
etc. done by ASCII-artists, especially Joan and Hayley, who have done
some outstanding copies.)

As I recall, we ended all the nonsense by agreeing to
         ________

There's copying and copying. Warhol's art especially did not use the
soup can to 'enhance' his picture. He cited it. Just copying a comic
character with a different technique should not be the same, so I'd
agree with RaD Man on adding C.Schulz's name. 

Nevertheless my first concern is to keep the ascii artists known, and 
I'm happy to see someone else adding the credits
for the _real_ original artist, too :)

Oh yes, 'great' Walt was a pro in stripping credits. He deleted the name
Carl Barks in many (all?) movies as far as I know. So 'great' Walt
is selling the Ducks as his creation. Big business - *sigh* !
