They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead. (Caption by Bruce Sterling, source. )
Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you to Tracy Harms for pointing out the above.
Bruce Sterling is a science fiction writer; my favorite is his novel Islands in the Net. I will always feel it should have won the Hugo. For more of his sense of humor, perhaps not always gainfully employed, see here. For How I attended his New Year's Eve party in 2000, see here.
