A little over 5 years ago, Steve Huffman and I co-founded reddit.com, our team quickly expanded to include Chris Slowe when we moved into his apartment 3 months after launching. We courted him for months until we finally convinced him to help us out with reddit while he was finishing his PhD.
Fun-fact: said team has been reunited for hipmunk.com!
Along the way, Federated Media asked us for a photo, which we haphazardly took to oblige them. This photo became the inspiration for Claudio Rodriguez Valdes, who illustrated this fantastic caricature of the original team reddit.
Well, I was so thrilled by it that I insisted he produce one for breadpig! Here's Christina and me with our winged porcine hero. I'd insisted on it being really over the top with the style of classic portraiture. Claudio nailed it. Thank you very much, sir!
+50 Internet points if you can spot the reddit alien hidden in the image!
You are correct, Shannon! I didn’t even notice it until Claudio mentioned there was an alien hidden inside – brilliant idea on his part.
Is it on the top of the chair?
