Honestly, I thought it said something like “The Tame Womohant Cafe.” Not making that up. I cannot read the line of text above the byline at all and I can’t read the byline, either–just enough to see an initial–I think–that indicates that it’s a name. [smh]
The Fife Heirophant Cafe for me
Oh, that’s a good one. Nope, I did not get Hierophant from that. I literally couldn’t come up with a word, and believe me, I see all sorts of stuff–animals, nuns, people, you name it, in the Travertine tile and the wooden door patterns in our house. I have The Face o’Jaysus in one of my doors! When I can’t come up with a word, any word, that fits a “sorta shape,” that’s bad.
I think the first name is Ronald. The last name, best I can decipher, seems to be “Mindzak.” As far as the middle initial, you could tell me that it’s literally anything and I wouldn’t disbelieve you.
Yeah, “Mindzak” seems as good a guess as any, I’ll give you that. I’m also with you on the Middle Initial–it could be ANYTHING. Anything at all. Another R? Nope. P? Can’t tell. Man. what was this author thinking????????

Assumes facts not in evidence.
LOLOL…May I upvote this more than once, pretty please? It deserves more.
The middle initial of the author of “The Time Morohant’s Cafe” might be a G, but it looks rather like an unholy hybrid of an ampersand and a treble clef (a trouble clef?).
Maybe it is not an initial, maybe it is & and there are two authors, Ronald & Mindzak
Duuuuuuude…….
Oh, so I’m NOT just still waiting for the other layers to load?
And the dude’s face is like, “Yes we’re still fucking open. It’s a time cafe, we never close. Fuck, I should go back to school.”
I know. Dialup flashbacks!
but that sandglass, there’s a study in subtle horror
It never runs out! I wonder if that’s on purpose.
I considered that, but the purpose of a sandglass is to mark time, it’s not much use otherwise. But also the base has absorbed his fingers and much of his hand. It’s not parallel to the top, which seems to be wider than the bottom as well. The whole thing is off in an “AI is not actually intelligent” way, methinks
