heh - if I had done this by hand, it could even be considered art - or at least
effort - since I didnt - its only spam - but still somehow worth posting - or
not? If I was an artist I could maybe create real art but all I get is this

nothing but doodles

btw, any idea how to draw a thin line in ascii that has this almost vertical
angle? my automatic converter leaves almost all of it blank since theres nothing
to fill a vertical which is more left than [ or more right than ] within the
characterspace - horizontal are less of a problem, multiple available chars
there _.-~

You are right: Vertical lines are hard. Here is the same drawing done 
with JavE (using the watermark feature to have your drawing as 
background, and the generic line tool to draw the lines upon):

Besides the 'generic' approach for drawing lines, there are also some 
alorithms available. They are based on the work and knowledge of real 
ascii artists:
