This picture of Susie Derkins was done in imitation pbmtoascii style.

pbmtoascii is a program that converts 1-bit pictures to ascii
graphics.  The method it uses is pretty simple: it pretends each ascii
character is two square pixels, one on top of another.  'o' is the
bottom pixel on, '"' is the top pixel on, and '$' is both pixels on.
So a small checkerboard with a thick dark border looks like this:

	$"$"$"$"$$
	$"o"o"o"o$
	$"o"o"o"o$
	$"o"o"o"o$
	$$o$o$o$o$

I'm not really sure why I tried to simulate pbmtoascii style.  It
seemed like a good idea at the time...
