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:

                          oooo$$$$$$$$$$$oooo
                      oo$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$o

   o $ oo        oo$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$o          $$  $$ $$o$
oo $ $ "$      o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$o        $$$o$$o$$o$

                                   $$$$$$$$$$$$
                                    $$$$$$$$$$               - Eric Snoddy
                                     "$$$$$$"

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.
