Mostly unrelated: I was surprised by how poorly drawn the accompanying android-with-a-cane illustration was. I understand that minimalism is a style unto itself, and intentionally poor drawing (as if in MS Paint) can be used to imply other things...but this just seemed amateurish, as if the NYT couldn't afford a decent illustrator.

- buckbova 11y agoIf you look up the artist you'll note his previous illustrations are mostly crudely drawn comics. I suppose that is the charm.
