Running this website for 25 years isn't the actions of someone who runs projects rationally. And it's not rational to be seized by the idea of making a joke book with this title, and then illustrating it myself, the hard way, by not cheating with AI, or compositing, and just placing char after char onto a grid to make pictures. Do buy it as really I've put so much work into it and I do think it's pretty entertaining, and I've even showed it around to notable people (read on the link) and bullied them into agree it's quite fun too. Twenty quid. Perfect for Christmas and it really is, coz you can read it in about 30 mins, pissed, and the font is big enough for eyesight that cares about things like ZX81s. ]]> 1792500367 https://www.b3ta.com/board/11432411 <a href="http://www.b3ta.com/users/profile.php?id=79773">Captain Howdy</a> ]]> 1792494300 https://www.b3ta.com/board/11432406 <a href="http://www.b3ta.com/users/profile.php?id=46786">HappyToast</a> ]]> 1792447374 https://www.b3ta.com/board/11432389 <a href="http://www.b3ta.com/users/profile.php?id=29292">Rotating Wobbly Hat</a> Click for bigger (265 kb)]]>
