This screenshot shows part of a large piece of ANSI art featuring "Inspector Dangerfuck." He is a gray-skinned cartoon character with blonde hair, bloodshot eyes, and a blue coat. He's holding a gun, and someone is shooting at him.

PART 3! In 1994, a teenager in Quebec wanted to make his mark in the underground scene. So he drew an original ANSI art comic starring a profane, stoned, gray-skinned detective called "Inspector Dangerfuck."

One year ago tonight I released an artpack celebrating "Instant Graphics and Sound," a unique Atari ST-specific corner of BBS history. Still proud of it!!

This collage shows four different superheros depicted in various styles of ANSI art.

Do you ever wonder about the burning existential questions …

What was “ANSI art”?
What was a “bulletin board”?
Were there ANSI comics?
Heck, how do you even define "comics"?

… Well, I've got some answers:

Yellow words on a red background, next to a small diagram of a house, read 'HOME ALONe'

Mistigram: I mobilized our artists for the next pack, but have a nagging feeling that I forgot something... oh no, Kevin!! Ah, I'm sure he's fine. Not like he's #homealone! This screen was drawn by @consolejockey.bsky.social for this date in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar.

A little white two-story house sits on a tiny tropical island not much larger than it is, with a little weathervane atop the peak of its roof, shaded by an enormous palm tree. Behind it, the sun tints the sky incredible sunset hues as it prepares to sink beneath the calm waves.

Mistigram: LDA and @consolejockey.bsky.social worked together on this #ANSIart illustration of #MasterRoshi's residence, the #KameHouse from #Dragonball... and it looks like we've arrived during a beautiful sunset! This piece was included in the new #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A knife-wielding masked, maned feral warrior woman stands on the rooftop with clouds and the night sky behind her. Underneath, before red stone inlay read Japanese characters spelling out the name of her movie: MONONOKE HIME

Mistigram: Cthulu drew this #ANSIart tribute to #StudioGhibli's 1997 #PrincessMononoke (with help from LDA and ConsoleJockey) for the new #anime -themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A 3x3 grid of pixelated thumbnail images depicts men, women, mecha, and supernatural beings from the world of Japanese animation

Mistigram: in different formats and from different eras, here's a sampling of the varied subjects and different mediums (#ANSIart, #teletext, #utf8 art) our artists used to salute #anime in the new MIST0825 artpack collection, browsable via the @sixteen_colors gallery or downloadable locally!

An orange-and-white housecat lies in a puddle at rest, calmly reflecting the viewer's gaze directly back at them with golden eyes.

Mistigram: As part of the feline parade offered up in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, @Consolejockey provided this #ANSIart portrait of their #cat companion Ivy.

Mistigram: the face of an angry fanged and horned red Japanese ogre with blue ears and blank cyan eyes gazes out menacingly at the viewer, as rain and binary code rains down behind it

Mistigram: the rude face of an #oni 👹 (or if you prefer, "Japanese ogre") stares down the viewer as binary code mixes with the rain, spelling out "#ANSIart is dead". This screen was drawn by @consolejockey.bsky.social and included in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.
