Does this image have an Origin story?
It seems far too Random to exist on it's own.. I had thought it might be related to Asterisk, the Open Source PBX software, but the name on the file says 1995..
"Your search - link:www.paulgraham.com/asterisk.html - did not match any documents."

I have to admit that it would be amusing to use that quote as permission to launch a new website, using *Man as it's logo.. The perpetrator could launch with its new site with cleverly adjusted fonts- New Loobot, (with logo by) PAUL GRAHAM!
- lvecsey 19y agoI thought of the free software based Asterisk PBX too. Maybe a modern interpretation is that the face represents someone making a poor comment as they disagree with someone, basically spewing dial tone!
- pfedor 19y agoAs far as I remember it appeared on the front page of Paul Graham's site around the time "What you can't say" was first published.
