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:

          _ _
        .' ` `.
       /  /(`)\\

   ,   y       \ ]

   |.--;\._,/  _/;
   \.  "`-__   ]/
    "`--._  \  |
   SK+itz.///  (

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.

Hi there folks! It's been a while since I've posted anything so I
figured I'd post some of the things I've been working on and try out
new sig (assuming it works).

Firstly, here's a pic I did of a Pikaia (an extinct animal):

   \/
   |\____ 
   \`----`\
    `"""""+\
            `

And this is a self portrait I've been working on (it doesn't look that
much like me, but who cares?):

         _ _
       .' ` `.
      /  /(`)\\
     | _/e  e(|
     |(G   ) ||
     /\\ '--`/|
    /  )|'-;' |
   /  / /  :  \
   \,-\(`._/`-.)
   /   `      ,`,
  .   Y       \ ]
  |   |        \|
  |.--;\___/  _/;
  '.   `.__   ]/
    `-.._  \  |
   SK   .///  (

I'm having a bit of trouble with the hands and arms, suggestions
and/or rediddles are welcome.

Hey, you're right, it does look like a slug.  I wasn't even thinking
about that. :)

Here's basically the same guy, but as a bannana slug, bigger, nastier,
and spotted:

  \/
  |\______
  \`.".;'.`\
   `"""""""+\^"'^`' <---trail of slime---
             ` SK
