Caption

Mistodon: after seeing an intriguing scan of this early text art illustration from #WillardSBain's 1967 #InformedSources: Day East Received, Cthulu was moved to manually reproduce it as #ASCIIart and included it in last month's new literature-themed MIST0426 artpack collection. The volume is patterned after all-caps teletype transmission by wire news services, and specifically "THE SKELETON OF THE BOOK IS MODELLED, SIGNIFICANTLY, ON THE AP REPORT FOR THE THREE DAYS FOLLOWING PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S ASSASSINATION."
