The original use of the word “Mistigris” is to denote an alleycat in French. This has resulted in us garnering more than a few pieces of feline promotional artwork over the years. This resolute ANSI art stray was drawn by Happyfish, the only artist ever to enshrine both senses of our name, and used in the infofile of our 1096 artpack – so condensed it could almost (almost!) be used as a sprite in some hypothetical textmode remake of Bill Williams’ 1983 Atari 8-bit platform game Alley Cat. Alternately, with the addition of a tiny ASCII cockroach it would be a boffo illustration for an ebook release of Don Marquis’ archy and mehitabel poems – first appearing in print 100 years ago! But I digress.
