This one is primarily of scholarly interest: it is an ASCII picture
done by a quasi-famous person! You may recognize Marc Laidlaw as
a science fiction writer - his story "The 400 Boys" appears in the
Mirrorshades anthology. The following picture is from his parody
story "Nutrimancer", which is obviously a take-off of Neuromancer.
The picture appears in the story because one character has a
"typographic filter" on his glasses that converts visual data into
ASCII. I'd kill for such a filter! Anyway, the story "Nutrimancer"
can be found in the book SHAGGY B.E.M. STORIES edited by Mike
Resnick (from Nolacon II Press) and somewhere else. Keep an eye
out for ASCII in the real world, and by famous people!
