I've written an absurd joke book where I've illustrated everything by hand in the exact limitations of a ZX81. Why I've done this, is largely because sometimes an art impulse seizes me and I can't stop myself. Please support this nonsense by throwing £20 my way to buy it. I promise you it's a lot of fun. 81 Jokes For The ZX81

81 Jokes for the ZX81

Rob Manuel (creator of Fesshole and co-founder of B3ta.com) set himself an absurd task. Write 81 jokes for the ZX81, illustrate them himself and use only the ZX81 character set. Features 81 jokes painstakingly drawn using 1981's Sinclair ZX81 graphics. Followed by the author's reminiscences and comic deviations on computing, creativity, and culture in the 1980s. If you loved the ZX81, this book is for you.

@robmanuel I generally find your art impulses outrank many others' sensible projects.

@Rob_T_Firefly Doing this I really felt I understood what it is to be an artist. I don't mean artist in a highfalutin way, but that I didn't have a choice but to make this, it appeared in my head and I had to follow the logic and do it, because 80% of my brain was already working on it.
