Here are some D-Man cartoons:

https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1648

which we sometimes use to decorate D related web pages:

http://dlang.org/safed.html
http://dlang.org/dstyle.html


It seems we are under-utilizing our mascot, D-Man. Wouldn't it be nice to have a set of D-Man emojis that can be linked to? or that we can use in the D forums?

Anyone want to contribute some? No drawing talent required! I drew some, and I have the talent of a second-grader. [I know that because my mom saved some of my 2nd grade art, and things haven't improved.]

The mascot seems to be used here at least:

For reference, a collection of d-mans from our Japanese friends can be found here: https://github.com/dlang-community/d-mans (list view: https://dlang-community.github.io/d-mans/meiz)

And as I didn't know what to do with dlang.rocks (better ideas are welcome), it's a moving D-man: https://dlang.rocks

It looks like dlang comic strips now continue on twitter:

Nice:)

Could you also include into the dmd2 package an icon file. I would be nice if I could set an icon for the *.d files. The dmd installer for windows has a nice icon which could be included for example.

There is an icon d002.ico in html\d\images. But it is low resolution and the background is not transparent.

Kind regards
André

I also made a 3D PovRay model of D man:

These are just 4 of the possible poses. The model is pretty flexible and can be put in many more poses, if anyone is interested.
