A jolly white sheet phantom pokes its grinning head out of a yellow box. Peek-a-boo!

Mistigram: What do you get for someone whose birthday is on Halloween? This [profile] illarterate screen, 'Ghost in a Box', placed 2nd in the [profile] flashparty #teletext compo two years ago and was included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection also released two years ago.

A man in a purple house delightedly sits down to tuck into a delicious pie laid out on his dining table.

Mistigram: I can't presume to speculate why [profile] illarterate drew this #teletext illustration in the first place, but today, #PiDay, is definitely the occasion on which to share it. This piece was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

A stylish female replicant with a look patterned after Pris in Blade Runner picks up a telephone receiver and converses with a more obviously mechanical android, whose ocular sensors pop out of their sockets.

Mistigram: this monochrome scene, promoting the fictitious 0300-HOT-BOTZ chatline, was drawn by [profile] illarterate. It placed 6th in last year's #ATASCII competition, and was included in the recent MIST-30 artpack celebration.

Beneath a glitched warning that the program requires Windows 95, a mouse pointer and hourglass icon hover in concern across from a worryingly erratic textured desktop background full of glitchy text and a Recycle Bin that is literally on fire.

Mistigram: this blinking #teletext screen by [profile] illarterate depicts a Microsoft #Windows95 desktop in the middle of having a trash fire meltdown. (It's not too late to give OS/2 a spin!) This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.

A yellow homonculus, dripping thick gobs of yellow glop, emerges from a vast pile of the alleged mud, sandwiched between the large words MUD and MON written in white text

Mistigram: this little yellow (it says green but I think they left out the blue) mud man must hail from the West Midlands, and not Jamaica as I initially suspected. He was drawn in #teletext by [profile] illarterate, and included in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection. (What's so spooky? His dry cleaning bill!)

A desktop computer displays a white skull and crossbones on its screen while a nimbus of hot, uncontrollable flames fire radiate out from behind the severely compromised machine.

Mistigram: perhaps the scariest thing imaginable to a computer hobbyist is the pwning and ruination of their expensive machines by hackers. This scenario is explored in this #teletext screen by [profile] illarterate, titled #GoodTimes after the renowned faux-virus. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1017 artpack collection released seven years ago this month.

The Grim Reaper, a skeleton wearing a black hood and wielding a wicked scythe, stares straight at the viewer with demonic red glowing eyes.  Maybe we shouldn t have been hanging out in that graveyard.

Mistigram: you may not have realised that the #GrimReaper was a Yorkshireman, but [profile] illarterate lays all doubts to rest in this #teletext illustration, included in the spooky MIST1020 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

In front of a forest scene, an the symmetrical face of an owl gazes wisely back at the viewer.

Mistigram: when you split a walnut in half, the interior structure of the shell can resemble an #owl face. I expect that's why this #textmode composition by [profile] illarterate, which won 3rd place in the 2023 #ATASCII art compo, is named "Walnut the Owl". It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

An illustration of a nude man embedded in a square witihin a circle depicts the proportions and (approximately six foot) range of motion of his limbs.

Mistigram: this #teletext screen by [profile] illarterate reproduced #LeonardoDaVinci's #VitruvianMan illustration to comment on the recommendations for social distancing guidelines issued early on during the Covid-19 pandemic. This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

a textured white lower-case f flashes in the middle of a textured red square, itself leaving what looks like textured red splash marks against a black backdrop on which are written the words REST IN PEACE / MACROMEDIA ADOBE FLASH

Mistigram: this decade saw the end of the line for the product introduced in 1996 as #FutureSplash Animator, before being bought out and renamed as #Macromedia's (and then Adobe's) #Flash multimedia software platform, the lightweight tech that launched a thousand indie cartoons and games on #Newgrounds and #Kongregate. This #teletext tribute by [profile] illarterate was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.
