Here’s Román Cortés’ Homer, animated to show the structure. I haven’t done anything to Román’s amazing work other than to annotate the divs with ids and add a bit of jQuery to show them in sequence so that you can see the characters being added one at a time.

Román also made a George Bush.
PS: if this doesn’t look right for you, it may be that you are on Linux and don’t have the Verdana font. You can install it from the msttcorefonts package.

Thank you for taking the time!
@brian minz: And this will certainly make it easier.
So much for standards.
P.S. Cool animated!
PS: Who ever decided to start calling open-source 'free' with no qualification? Standard usage is that free == available without charge. And there are other, better words to describe the subject (I like the sound of 'liberated' myself
The real question is, "does it pass the validator.w3.org test?"

"works with", "works with" ...
