@ASCII-only OTOH, our language isn't trying to be paradoxical, as a lot of his artwork is, but rather straightforward.
Oh, and I remembered why I thought Gutenberg would be applicable: because it's text art. Arranging ASCII characters bears some similarity to movable type.
Another line of thought: since lines of characters are pretty common here, names of cartoonists.
Or something relating to cartooning--maybe a common noun would be better than a name. Calling it "Watterson" or "Schulz" just feels weird. :P
Of course these names don't say anything about ASCII, so might be disappointing to people who were expecting something with graphical output.
The "sketch" idea is good because you don't have to worry about where on the "page" you start--it doesn't require as much planning, you can just "dash something off."
If you scroll up a bit you can see we've been thinking about copying Piet and using people's names (we're thinking about Gutenberg, but I think it makes it sonld a little old :P)
@Sherlock9 Maybe, but not too hard, there's a GH repo with only 41 stars on the first page
@DLosc I think Gutenberg may not be the easiest to Google, because of Project Gutenberg
@ASCII-only True, about Gutenberg. Although, other esolangs are hard to google (think of Jelly, for example), and yet pop up immediately when you add "language" to the query.
