Untouched by Human Hands

Okay, I'm a computer nerd from way back. Here's something new and fun; I've been noticing these machines, like the old passport photo booths, popping up all over the place. Instead of producing a photo, they produce a computer-generated "sketch."

And, truth be told, they look a lot better than nine out of ten sketches you'll have made by a human artist down in Battery Park, at the Citadel, or at the CNE.

My kid, to the left, looks like a Norman Rockwell; my wife looks like an early study by Van Gogh.

And me? Al Capp.
