Kermit was a computer communication project at Columbia University 1981-2011. This image is from the Kermit 95 Gallery:

This is an ancient Heath-19 terminal “graphics” demo. It looks a bit rough in Lucida Console, but that’s only because it does not contain the Heath-19 special graphics characters, which were not added to Unicode until Unicode 3.1, and will take some time to find their way into Unicode fonts such as Lucida Console and Courier New.

Update 2024-01-15: The project is still going and the website has moved to https://www.kermitproject.org
