He was washing dishes when a delegation came to inform him he had been chosen to become cardinal but refused to talk with them before he had finished his job. To him menial work was far more holy and important than glitter and power and he even told the delegation to hang the cardinal robes on a tree outside while he continued washing dishes.

and she was like: but...how are you going to return items without an account?

Five or six attempts, a few hours of reformatting, and some very kind librarians later, and I've got a test copy of my first zine with proper double sided printing! My next hurdle will be buying an extra long stapler... but! For now! Behold, my Shel Silverstein poetry cuttings!

This is meant to accompany my band's performances next month, where we will be performing digital hardcore adaptations of several Shel Silverstein poems. If we can get some recordings burned, I plan to add these as a bonus for buying the physical media.

I still have some reformatting that's necessary [I formatted this in LibreOffice but the library has Word so the PDF conversion got funky] and we intend to add our own doodles and add them in, so this is far from done, but I'm so excited to have a physical copy of my edits.

That's all done with a single design:

You'd think this would have a name, right?  (For its historical use as an architectural / decor tile — although I've found out more about its use in games, that's not what I'm looking for.)  Like the Penroses do (and no, it's not one of those).  But I've had no luck finding it, or any other info.  Any (human only, please) help?
