Change Punk's Tile to a Fustibalus

A recent character training slings found Punk in the lower Dungeon and used it as the primary killdudes for the Lair branches and much of Vaults. Having previously taken a hunting sling to mindelay, I looked at Punk's tile and seeing no stick, did not train Slings further. It wasn't until I saw "fustibalus" in the game-end morgue that I realized I'd been using it all game at speed 8. Of course I should have looked at the item description, so yes this is an "I did something stupid so change the game please to protect me from myself" GDD post. But it is a small change, and the tile does give misleading information about the item type.

Here is a sample tile I made with my poor image editing skills.

I took the plain fustibalus tile, changed the shaft to candy-striped chartreuse, and changed the cup to glowing magenta.

I even figured out how to change Punk's tile in my offline install and test it in wizmode against various backgrounds. I guess it looks okay.
