By Steve Davidson: When asked to define what Pixel Scroll was all about, famed SF author Damon Knight said:
“Pixel Scroll means what we point to when we say ‘Pixel Scroll’.”
Brian Aldiss, no slouch in the quote department, had this to say:
“Pixel Scroll is the search for a definition of man and his status in the universe”
Dr. Asimov, from his rapidly crumbling throne, echoes Aldiss:
“Pixel Scroll is concerned with the impact of scientific advance upon human beings.”
Ray Bradbury, not to be outdone said:
“Pixel Scroll is really sociological studies of the future”
John Brunner, decidedly jaded opines that –
“Pixel Scroll is par excellence the literature of the open mind.”
Lester Del Rey:
“Pixel Scroll is the myth-making principle of human nature today.”
Frank Herbert:
“Pixel Scroll represents the modern heresy”
Pixel scrolls, on the grass, alas.
So this thread is a sort of roach motel for scroll titles.
[belated tip of the hat to Taral]
“…but this one isn’t like other pixel scrolls. It has heart, and human values!”
It’s Lester del Rey…
If I see “pixel scroll” too many times, I start saying it in my head like “tootsee roll,” as in the 1994 song by the 69 Boyz. Dip, baby dip, dip baby dip…now slide, slide slide…
Tootsie roll earworms? Try “Whatever it is I think I see, becomes a Pixel Scroll to me…”
“Mr. Turtle, how many ticks does it take to get to the comments of a Pixel Scroll?”

How many clicks does it take to get to the center of a Pixel Scroll? The world may never know.
Hey!
Sorry, Kip, you were first! – I replied based on e-mail.
No problem. I’m doing the same thing right now.
@Kip: “One, two-hoo, three, four, five, five.”
Oh, man. Why do I suddenly feel like I’ll spend the night having fever dreams about Mitch McConnell? (Maybe it’ll be better tonight. Last night, I had the same dream all night and when I woke up I couldn’t describe it.)
Jamoche–golf clap!
I was trying to get a double-five joke in there. Well done.
Every cassette tape left in a car too long turns into a Pixel Scroll. (newly topical thanks to tor.com)
