ps I used "Batman story caveman 1950s" as a search thread, in Google and came up with that, on the second or third listing.

Thank you so much, it was bugging me. Cody, if you were in my town, I absolutely would buy you a pint of Foster’s lager (unless you are yet another person who dislikes it).  Fosters is alright. Not much of a beer person, lager or stout, myself. Killian's Red, if it is cold, and I am having something like a cheeseburger, pizza, or something spicy, is about it. |

My job means I can’t drink alcohol much unless I’m not working for a couple of days, but on the rare occasion I do, I find Foster’s palatable as it’s light, and that means it goes well with a pie or something. (Some lagers make you feel bloated)

Maybe I complicated things by adding words such as “Bat-Signal” and the like. Perhaps fewer words might have led me there. I've had experience with vague searches, from bookselling and training in deciphering government supply listings and nomenclatures. Using the unique elements of a story tends to work better. I figured caveman would be a more likely discussed element, and went with that, then read the summary and just checked out the issue at an on-line reading site and was lucky enough that it was the one. It's as much luck as anything else. |

It can be luck, and other factors matter. I like the various MASK comics (based on the Kenner toyline), but if searching for anything to do with that, lots of details matter or else you’ll just get links to Dark Horse’s The Mask comic. But other times, fewer words matter.
I don’t use AI search engines if I can help it as they can be useless. On one occasion, I wanted details on the Royal Marines Police who are obviously part of the Royal Marines, but despite being very specific, the AI I used kept referring to links to the Royal Marine Police, who investigated naval dockyard crime until 1949. Didn’t matter how I phrased it, they kept giving me details of the wrong force.

I’m not willing to be mocked by a country that gave us the truly peculiar platypus. I mean, come on, what are mammals doing laying eggs? It’s silly. |

And the various Aboriginal creation myths about the platypus are...interesting, to say the least.

The odd and homicidal wildlife that evolved on Australia makes me wonder what humans that evolved on Australia would have been like.

I was waiting for this. Few people outside of Australia even know that Fosters is primarily an export product, and is certainly not the beer of choice down under.
Between Fosters and platypus venom, I'll take the latter... at least it has a more assertive flavor profile than the former.
