MIST0426/CT-EUGENE_IONESCO-RHINOCEROS

 Mistigram: because 'books' doesn't just mean 'fiction' and 'non-fiction', here's Cthulu's #ANSIart adaptation of #RoyKuhlman's 1960 cover design to #EugeneIonesco's allegorical play #Rhinoceros.  This piece was included in the recent books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/US-DIANE_W_YOUNG-ADVENTURES_IN_A_MINOR_ORDER

 Mistigram: sometimes we celebrate canonical classics established through the ages and sometimes, as in Ratatouille, we discover and defend the new. In this #ANSIart screen Moth (with help from LDA) reproduces the cover photograph of a new entomological monograph, #DianeWYoung's #AdventuresInAMinorOrder, pertaining to the #booklice and #barklice of #psosoptera. If you have a strong interest in the subject and money is no object, you can purchase a copy today via https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4463637180/adventures-in-a-minor-order-insects This piece was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/MC_FRESHER-GOODNIGHT

 Mistigram: possibly a low-hanging-fruit gag by @mc.fresher , but it nonetheless strikes on one of the most extraordinary moments in #MargaretWiseBrown's essential 1947 children's book #GoodnightMoon, the moment in which the artist is charged with illustrating a negation.  This minimalist #ANSIart piece was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-THOMAS_PYNCHON-GRAVITY'S_RAINBOW

 Mistigram: If you haven't had the strange pleasure of reading #ThomasPynchon's 1973 magnum opus #GravitysRainbow, "ostensibly about an American G.I. who seems to have a psychosexual connection to Nazi Germany's V-2 rockets", no gloss will really suffice. But because a picture says a thousand words, we here post Cthulu's adaptation of #MarcGetter's cover art to the postmodern novel, included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.
