MiSTiGRAM: Orangeboxman’s shaggy dog setup to this bizarre punchline is so rigorous it’s a sheer pleasure just to watch the maestro at work, rendering wholly secondary the question of whether or not the joke is actually funny.

MiSTiGRAM: @BlippyPixel took on #SalvadorDali’s 1931 #PersistenceOfMemory in our fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection three months ago but he returned to the well for this #coronavirus-themed work of #BBCMicro hirez - the Persistence of Panicking. In addition to the bog roll fluttering magnificently in the plague breeze are two staples of British cuisine, Heinz ketchup and tinned baked beans, all three of them unobtainable in supermarkets.

MiSTiGRAM: I know about the Alan Smithee phenomenon in cinema, but it seems something similar is in effect in computer art - Cthulu suggested a visual metaphor of one of the oldest jokes in computing, #spaghetticode (with meatballs), and some anonymous wag obliged in our networked Moebius server, unwilling to accept credit for their workmanlike delivery of the gag. They can have little-a #ANSIart, as a treat. This screen was included in this month’s April Fool’s MiST0420 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/B_B10HgngxX/
MiSTiGRAM: if these corny gags won’t sell you on the merits of the #teletext medium, then Uglifruit is utterly out of other ideas. This screen was included in this month’s April Fool’s MiST0420 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/B-_QFiwnOeu/
MiSTiGRAM: @xtcomics has taken the #tinyhouse movement and used #ASCIIart and emoji to deliberately misinterpret the emphasis of those words to humorous effect - just look at that tiny house moving! Yow, there it goes! This piece was included in this month’s April Fool’s MiST0420 artpack collection. https://instagr.am/p/B-_PzxpHTLZ/
MiSTiGRAM: last seen in the environs of #Office97, notorious desktop assistant #Clippy is back and he’s ready to give you unhelpful advice for #ANSIart drawing.

MiSTiGRAM: truthers step up, Orangeboxman is back with his most provocative juxtaposition of pseudoprofound quip and stock photography imagery yet! And think of the ramifications on computer science!
