Mistigram: I misspoke -- I said I'd be sharing three Illarterate #teletext screens on the #MaxHeadroomIncident of signal hijacking that took place 35 years ago today in the Chicago area, but though he has drawn a third, instead here's a new one I caught from @teletextr, in which #MaxHeadroom, like some ghost in the shell, eerily emerges from the Ceefax frontpage headlines, glitching everything he touches. "I still see the X!"

Mistigram: here, for the first time in #ATASCII (the #textmode character set of #Atari 8-bit computers) in one of our artpacks, Illarterate revisits the #MaxHeadroomIncident of pirate broadcasting that took place 35 years ago today, ironically playing on the #MaxHeadroom character's then-role as a Coca-Cola brand ambassador. This screen was included in last month's MIST1022 artpack collection.

Mistodon: a disconcerting image, this is monochrome #teletext reproduction of a frame from the notorious #MaxHeadroomIncident, a famous unsolved pirate broadcast that took place 35 years ago today with the help of a sheet of corrugated metal and a rubber #MaxHeadroom mask. Illarterate is a huge celebrant of this #cyberpunk moment in history and this is the first of three images by him on the subject we will be sharing with you today. This one was included in the MIST1120 artpack collection released two years ago this month.
