That maple leaf batch I tried last fall made the paper way too brittle. The pieces kept cracking along the veins when I tried to fold it. Natural stuff just doesn't bind the same way pulp does for real use.

DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985 was their big fix for messy timelines. I remember trying to map out all the reboots and retcons on a whiteboard once. It got so tangled I just gave up and labeled it 'comic book logic.' Now when fans argue, I bring up how Batman has had like five different origins since then. Honestly, it's all so flexible that getting heated over it feels silly.

My buddy Dave always mocked digital meters until his analog one failed during a critical repair. Now he won't touch anything without a digital readout.
