OK.  Just don't ask why.
This is an attempt at something similar to:
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
-Except-  No repetition.  HARD!!!

The idea, my friend, was to use all the legitimate ascii characters
once, but only once, and still have a picture...  It sort of worked.
Imagine holding your own left hand out, with the thumb pointing up, and
a bird resting on the highest (index) finger.

The last one was supposed to be a 3d stereogram, so you may make more
sense having seen that.

Of course, I understood the rules. I just thought that using those
rules, you should have tried depicting "The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog." (And speaking of that phrase, did anyone ever have one
that used all the numbers and punctuation marks as well?)

Remarkable! The hand is very good. It's just the bird that is eluding
me.

    Oh no! Not a hand... That's even harder to draw...

Yup.  And if you can't see the bird, here it is, on its own:
       _,
      {~=:
      [2@!&
        +*$%^L"
        / |
      M> N-

Although, the M and the N could be considered to be an integral part of
both the bird, and the index finger.

Also, I have diddled the 3d stereogram a little.  I forgot to mention,
although you seem to have worked it out, that you must look cross-eyed
at this one, but if you want to see it by looking past it, just reverse
the images (left - right).

-very good drawing; no need to explain.

Now they are birds in hands:

        (\

     /_((\ `--\  ` `''-

Aha! I couldn't quite see the beak. Here is an alteration:

Well no wonder that one got away. You left the cage door open!

Here, I'll close it.

              _O_            (\('<
            .'.'.'.          _>_)

           `+--+--+'


I've moved the bars on your cage so it's easier to see the bird:
              _O_ 
            .'.'.'.           _>`)/)
