Also note that ASCII art (both the name & the result) is *VERY* old!!
People were already doing it when I got into computing in the late 1960's.

In those days, one used line printers (I know, something most people
have gladly forgotten about!!) to print on fan-fold paper (another thing
probably best forgotten!) poster-sized pictures of various kinds. There
was even soft-porn already, in the form of life-sized pin-up girls... ;-}
