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

  []O|\  | [] /
 /[] | \ | []/
/ [] |  \|O[]

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

(I replied in French so that my response could be turned 180' and still
understood.)

How about this two liner?

 /  \| \ |\ /
/ \| \ |\  /

I guess it really looks more like "Anny"

It works a little better with three lines.

  /  | | | |\  /
 / \  \| |\  \/
/   \| | | | /

or not....

How about two and a half lines?
    _
 / ( |   \-/
/-\   |_) /

Nope....

You really know how to waste a guy's time don't you! I'm supposed to be
doing hard sums at the moment. How's this?

Why not have a go at my name if you're bored? The 'V' and 'A' shouldn't
be too difficult...  :]

I tried a script type font and concocted this hash-up:

                                    
  _       _                 _     * .._    _
   )   ) .''.  X   .-.''.  / \   /  .' .  / )
   |  /     / /|  / /   / /   | /  /     /  |
   (_/  '_.' / \_/  '..'-'    X'   '..' (   (_ 
          ''*

Somebody must be able to do a lot better than this!

Dog's dinners to the usual address.

regards,

Paul

Hey, I think you've got something there.  That's the most readable one
I've seen.
