367: ASCIIfield

Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip was inspired by #224; however, instead of a hexadecimal representation of the data that, if opened as the right file type by the right program, would yield a picture of one strip, this strip attempts to draw a different strip in very simple ASCII art.
ASCII is a character encoding standard that tells programs to display a certain typing character when given certain data. While this is typically done in the service of text-based information, ASCII art attempts to present us with pictures using the more limited forms provided by ASCII characters.

This is a bad (hand-made) ASCII art version of 2002-04-18. I got the idea from strip number 224. I chose the date because it was the date of my first kiss (with a girl I no longer like). Bittersweet memories.
Original strip: 2002-04-18.
