very insightful explanation, stile. The "interrupting each other" makes much more sense.
And yes, I agree it is realistic...
... but I also find it hampering.
I mean, I don't read comic books for pure realism, you know? super powers, time travel, colorful costumes... yeah, MY typical high school experience!

I've come to despise psuedo-realism in superhero comics.
Nothing against people who like it, but it's one of the main reasons I don't read many of them anymore.

A bad time for me to launch All-Fun Pseudorealism Monthly.

Hyper realism turns me into a hyper reader, so I'm too fidgety to finish any of it.

I was a fan of Hypertime, even though Morrison & Waid temporarily left DC before it could be fully implemented.

Sugary drinks were one of the first things I cut out of mine, when I first started getting fitter

Sugary drinks were a treat for me growing up, so no real hardship in giving them up.

Yep, I theoretically have everything I need to get back into it - a home gym area, enough space outside to do yard work and walk around. The problem is I have a kitchen and a bar

But how would he practice law if he's barred from the bar?

And the answer is the difference between the Atom set in Ivy Town and the Atom set in a South American jungle.

The old William Shakespeare joke expresses surprise at him dying following a drinking session, as he was known to be bard.

Siobhan Fahey was my least favorite member of Bananarama, so I shed no tears when Shakespeare's Sister self-destructed.
