Impossibly-Compact Folding | |
The High Sign / int_9a27d58c | comment |
Impossibly Compact Folding: As Buster unfolds the newspaper, it just keeps unfolding until it's roughly the size of a bedsheet. As he tries to fold it up again, he has to stand on a bench to do so and quickly loses his balance. | |
