There are, of course, other ways to write dates so as to not confuse people. 10/Dec/1993 is quick to understand, for example.
Text art is notoriously cumbersome for those who use screen-readers. This is because, as text art is mostly based around symbols and letters organized in a way to create an image rather than, well, text.

-When publishing text art online, people usually use the <pre> tag. By adding a simple <aria-hidden="true"> to a tag such as <pre> or <span> (example below), the content it contains will not be read by screen-readers (as described in WAI-ARIA 1.0).
+When publishing text art online, people usually use the <pre> tag. All test in this element are displayed in a fixed-width font and the text will preserve both spaces and line breaks - it will show up the same way that it is written in the source code. By adding a simple <aria-hidden="true"> to a tag such as <pre> or <span> (example below), the content it contains will not be read by screen-readers (as described in WAI-ARIA 1.0).
In the code, it will look something like this:
+ ++<pre aria-hidden="true">ASCII art goes here</pre>
Of course, it will be still necessary to describe the art if it relevant to the topic at hand. A possible solution to this issue is describing the «image» afterwards with regular text tags. If the text art is meant to be purely decorative, you can probably skip this step though.
The song used for Transcripts and Subtitles is «Gonna Dig Up Alec Guinness» by Lemon Demon from the album «Damn Skippy» (2005). I, Cass, am doubtful that the use of this song would fall under fair use in the USA or fair dealing in the UK, but according to the ReadMe.txt from the official website, «feel free to use any of this music in any video/animation projects for school or for fun».
