Alphanumeric pin-ups

[philg]

I know I am showing my age now, but my first contact with computers was throught a teleprinter/teletype machine

We used to be able to print off monochrome pin-up "pictures" comprising solely of the 7-bit alphanumeric character set

I feel sure there must be some examples of this on the internet somewhere, but (surprise surprise) any search involving the phrase "pinup" finds all sorts of hits that are not really what I am looking for

Cheers for any suggestions of where to research this journey down memory lane
