Apparently, suck's netmoguls parodies put out a trading card (#36)
for Tim Berners-Lee: http://www.suck.com/netmoguls/97/04/25/front.html

Nice caricature/artwork, actually. The text on the back, though, is
transliterated here from its gif-prison:

NAME: Tim Berners-Lee
EMAIL: timbl@w3.org
AGE: 41
TITLE: Director
COMPANY: W3C
NET WORTH: $0.1M (est) [pre-Akamai.. RK]

Stepping stones:
Principal Scientist, "MIT Labs"
Software Engineer, CERN
Director, Image Computer Systems
Principal Engineer, Plessy

IN MY MOST CURRENT INCARNATION, I'M A BLONDE-HAIRED, BLUE-EYED TEENAGE GIRL:
"We'll all be able to live for three or four hundred web years, which
is very exciting."

BUT IT'S HARD TO WATCH SEINFELD.COM OVER DINNER:
"When you have a computer and good web access, who needs television?"

THE WEB -- IT'S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE:
"In order to get from A to B, you have to find a downhill path, where
each step is downhill for whoever is going to take it."
