Rob Manuel
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.
