Actually, this is an altered version of the green planet-face from The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  (I don't think an actual name for it was
given.)  The correct version is:

                                     "$$$$$$"

It does not and _should_not_have eyes, and there is no "..bblpp.." sound.

As to the artist credit to Eric Snoddy, I have no idea if his original had
eyes or not, or if he added eyes to someone else's original.

Apologies if this wraps incorrectly.  I have no control over my margins
with this newsreader's editor.

Can't be.  It has no nose with which to have sneezed out the whole
Universe, and it doesn't match the depiction of the Great Green Arkleseizre
in the cave drawings of the Jatravartids of Viltvodle 6.

Actually, the semi-official name for it (regularly referred to in the
Douglas Adams group, and DA himself has been known to use the term) is
"the cosmic cutie".
