MIST0426/CT-ALLEN_GINSBERG-HOWL

 Mistigram: OK, we shared Burroughs and Kerouac, so let's wrap it up and complete the Beat set. 'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked', but Cthulu couldn't draw all that in #ANSIart, so instead he just adapted #Howl's 1956 #CityLights cover design. This piece was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-JACK_KEROUAC-ON_THE_ROAD

 Mistigram: from one celebrated '50s typewritten manuscript to another, today we look at Cthulu's attempt to adapt #BillEnglish's abstract cover art illustration to #JackKerouac's influential 1957 Beat novel #OnTheRoad.  This screen was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-WILLIAM_S_BURROUGHS-NAKED_LUNCH

 Mistigram: yesterday we shared an image of a typewriter, and now logically we progress to #WilliamSBurroughs' 1959 #NakedLunch, whose 1991 Cronenberg film adaptation inspired the Simpsons' quote: 'I can think of at least two things wrong with that title.'  The cover art of this 1992 Grove Press edition issued in the wake of the movie, adapted to #ANSIart by Cthulu, was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/JONINSCII-TYPEWRITER

 Mistigram: Many a great novel has been written on a typewriter (and also, once in a while, an #emoticon #smilie.) This animated #ASCIIart #typewriter was drawn by Joninscii, and it was included in last month's literature-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-DAVID_AHL-101_BASIC_GAMES

 Mistigram: the great thing about hitting on an artpack theme like that of books, recently explored in last month's new MIST0426, is being reminded just how many different kinds of books there are. Here Cthulu has (with great difficulty) adapted to #ANSIart Bob Barner's doodly cover artwork to #DavidHAhl's seminal 101 #BASIC Computer Games, a 1973 volume of fun #typein code listings published by the Digital Equipment Corporation.

MIST0426/ATONALOSPREY-PAUL_GOBLE-THE_GIRL_WHO_LOVED_WILD_HORSES

 Mistigram: this #teletext illustration, drawn by @atonalosprey, adapts a scene from #PaulGoble's award-winning 1978 children's book #TheGirlWhoLovedWildHorses. This screen was included in last month's new books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/ZII-MLMR

 Mistigram: to you, this may just look like an #ANSIart landscape illustration. But if you've read #PeterFHamilton's 2004 SF novel #PandorasStar, kicking off his #CommonwealthSaga, you may recognize the creation of the powerful #MorningStarMountain hivemind here. This piece was drawn by @zeusii.bsky.social for last month's new literature-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.
