MIST0725/CODEFENIX-GINGER

2003-2023 She came to us as a used kitten - that s how the shelter described her. She had been adopted briefly once before but returned when her previous owner could no longer care for her. We never saw her as used; to us, she was simply waiting for the right family. From the moment she arrived, it felt like she had always belonged with us. We learned quickly that she was unlike any other cat: she was allergic to catnip, something we only discovered after removing it and seeing how much more comfortable she became. It was one of the many little mysteries she carried, each one making her feel even more special. She had a deep bond with the kids, and they with her. Their affection for each other was immediate and unwavering. She would curl up next to them, follow them from room to room, and sit quietly while they read or played. Her gentle presence became part of their daily lives, a source of quiet comfort and love. She loved sitting by the patio door, watching the birds and rabbits in the backyard like it was her own private nature show. And when she wasn t by the window, she was sometimes above us - perched on top of the kitchen cabinets, calmly observing everything like a wise guardian keeping watch over her domain. She never quite warmed up to the dog, but she did her best. There was a quiet truce between them, a kind of mutual tolerance that, in its own way, was a form of peace. She found her own corners of the house, her own routines, and always made it clear that she would share her space-but only on her terms. In the end, she passed away peacefully, resting on my daughter s lap-one final, tender moment that said everything about the bond they shared. It was incredibly hard to say goodbye. But we take comfort in knowing that she lived a long, happy life, filled with love, warmth, and a family that adored her. She may have started out as someone else s cat, but she became ours completely-and we will always be grateful for the years we had with her. We miss you, Ginny.

Mistigram: today we share Codefenix's #ANSIart memorial to beloved family pet Ginger, a "used kitten" who wound up spending two decades as part of the family. This piece was included in the cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

On a white ceramic plate and accompanied by a cold can of diet soda pop, a humble bologna sandwich on white bread with a leaf of lettuce and a slice of processed cheese sits next to an optional pickle, radiating an incredible basic aura.

Mistigram: it's been a while since we last stopped by here, and I for one am starting to feel a little peckish again. This #ANSIart illustration of a delicious #bologna sandwich was drawn by Codefenix of Constructive Chaos BBS and included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 e-mag.

IMBIBE01/CODEFENIX-EYES_OFF_MY_FRIES

A cheeseburger oozing special sauce on a sesame seed bun sits on a platter with pickle slices and a slice of tomato, while a dish of steaming french fries and a tall, heady glass of beer lurk behind it, prepared to cleanse the palate. Beneath, a neon sign warns: eyes off my fries.

Mistigram: you've been eating healthy all week, why not cut loose a bit to celebrate the arrival of the weekend? 'Eyes Off My Fries', a delicious #ANSIart screen by

codefenix, was included in the recent IMBIBE01 food-themed electronic magazine.

Mistigram: Wendy's may be the only fast food chain to print #ASCIIart burgers on their receipts, but if you could eat one at #BurgerKing truly you could #HaveItYourWay. Until then, this newschool logo by

codefenix will have to suffice. (As seen in the new IMBIBE01 electronic magazine!)

ADVENT23/12_DEC23

A cozy log cabin appearing tiny against a snowy forest landscape must be warm inside, judging by the amount of smoke puffing merrily out of its chimney.

Mistigram:

codefenix drew this cozy #ANSIart scene for today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar. If you like it, you can see more such ANSI screens from this year's ADVENT24 at his Constructive Chaos BBS via conchaos.synchro.net

MIST1223/01_DEC23

On a plain wooden table, beneath a season s greetings banner of crossed candy canes and next to a glass of milk and a lit red candle nestled in decorative evergreen foliage, sits a plate bearing a jolly gingerbread man. By the time Santa arrives, weeks from now, the cookie will be stale and the milk will be curdled (supposing the candle doesn t burn it all down!), but it s a nice mental picture.

Mistigram: we've just dropped an executable MS-DOS #ANSIart #AdventCalendar for December's lead-up to Christmas, for the 2nd year running. This cozy seasonal screen, drawn by codefenix of Constructive Chaos BBS (conchaos.synchro.net), was the first illustration in last year's. For further information about this year's Mistmas Advent calendar, stay tuned.

MIST1024/CODEFENIX-GOING-SO-SOON

In the graveyard in the dead of night, lit by the light of the full moon, a cowled skeleton with glowing eyes in its sunken sockets, wielding a wicked scythe, emerges from between gravestones and reaches out toward the viewer. A line of large text at the bottom gives voice to his sardonic thought: GOING SO SOON?

Mistigram: Codefenix must have been meant for this #ANSIart screen to adorn Constructive Chaos BBS' logoff screen, but the accusing boney finger of the spectre of death is applicable to all viewers everywhere. It was included in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

MIST1222/CODEFENIX-XMAS_2022

A snowman, with impassive face and its top hat obstructing its view, hefts an axe effortlessly as it prepares to chop down a sturdy pine tree growing in a snowy forest clearing. Beneath, candy cane letters spell out Season s Greetings! with bows, bells and holly.

Mistigram: this snowman is all business, no hard feelings, as he goes about his grim work preparing for the holiday season beneath the northern lights. Pray you don't cross his path! This #ANSIart screen was drawn by CodeFenix of Constructive Chaos BBS, and included in the MIST1222 artpack collection released one year ago.
