Yes, I think it looks like one IIRC. It looks even more like a slug,
though. In fact, that's the best ascii slug I've ever seen. :-)

That's a wonderful self-portrait - there's really no need to change
anything. However, I do love rediddling, so here goes:

          _ _
        .' ` `.
       /  /(`)\\
      | ,/e  e(|

Just a few small changes, smoothed a few lines and extended the elbow.
Of course, I have no idea which version looks more like you - probably
the original.
