MIST0426/US-DIANE_W_YOUNG-ADVENTURES_IN_A_MINOR_ORDER

It 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.

This screen was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-D'AULAIRES_BOOK_OF_GREEK_MYTHS

 Mistigram: perhaps Cthulu was overcome with hubris, his tragic flaw, attempting to depict everything in the heavens and on the earth using only 80 columns, but nevertheless he attemped to adapt the cover to #DAulaires 1962 Book of Greek Myths, a formative collection, to #ANSIart, and managed to cram in, if not exactly exalt, all of the subjects.

You can play it via https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0426/CT-RC.BAT or see the original at https://www.llamas.org/corey.html
