Can anybody read "andy" into these doodles, or should I just give up?
Challenge anybody to do a good ANDY. Harder than Henry (:
Increasing order of merit [in my opinion] :
|
/_\/\/| _ |
| |/\/\ /
|
| |
/_\/\ | _ |
| | \/\ /
| |
,-
/_\/\|| _ |
| ||\/\ /
-'

/_\/\|| _ |
| ||\/\ /
|
I think that last one might be passable? No? Oh well.

Yep - guess I'm lucky :)

Unfortunate thing about doing the 'd' 'n' exchange this way is that if I make
the 'd' any more like a 'd' the n looks like a 'p'. Sod's Law I suppose.
A N d Y

You can try and combine two letters into one inverted, but its not great.
