What type of text art is this?

I've seen this type of comment art posted before, but I can never figure out where it comes from because I can't seem to figure out what its called.

ASCII art and Unicode art don't seem to bring back any results, and all I can find is that it is made up of unicode "block elements"... but still no definitive info.

Not even close to what I was asking for.

Actually, it is. I just clicked "I'm feeling lucky" accidentally.

It's ANSI Art: http://ansi.drastic.net http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_art

Ah. Thought the "I'm Feeling Lucky" was you being a smartass lol.

Thanks =). Out of all the things I've been searching for in the past hour, I can't say "text art" ever crossed my mind. sigh

Edit: Bonus points if you can find places that have recent works (like Fry and Mario)

Yeah, my google-foo is off or something today because I can't seem to find the source for where people are getting the various new ones (mooninites, fry, mario, etc.)
