It makes sense that Superman believes in Santa because what argument are you going to use against him? Oh it's hard to believe that reindeer can fly? That Santa can travel around the planet at super speed? That he has a house in the North pole?

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

When you put it like that it's clear Santa is the next-to-last son of Krypton.

Series ends in the next chapter, the panels are just funnier without the extra 2 above. It was a fun concept that felt like it could have been capitalised on a bit better had it been left to run for more chapters.

Felt like it was trying to be Mairimashita! Iruma-kun 2.0, which is also potentially why it got cancelled - as it's very similar.

If you steal them from the past they're not antiques, merely contemporary items made in an antique style. It's the passage of time that makes them antique. Better off burying them somewhere and dig them up in the present.

This reminds of the Twilight Zone episode "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville." In 1963, a rich old gently caress makes a deal with the devil to go back in time to 1910 and buy oil-producing acreage for cheap, only to face the dawning realization that the required extraction technology won't exist until 1937.

That kind of reminds me of the episode, "The Rip Van Winkle Caper", where a scientist and a bunch of criminals steal a million in gold, then go into cryogenic sleep for 100 years.

Turns out that 100 years in the future, people have discovered how to synthesize gold and it therefore holds no value, also the thieves end up killing each other before they even find that out

This happens in an Uncle Scrooge comic where Scrooge goes back in time to acquire some authentic papyrus from ancient Egypt. Donald reminds him of what you said and proposes the same idea, but when they return to the present, they find a pyramid had been built on top of their stash.

It also came up in an Isaac Asimov short story, called "Button, Button". A scientist invented a way to look back in time, and even to make items viewed that way real, and he wants to get some funding to improve his method. The constraints are that A) nobody apart from the nephew he recruits to help can know about the technology until it's perfected, B) it can't look more than 200 years back in time, and C) it can only create a few grams of material. They decide to get the signature of Button Gwinnett from the US Declaration of Independence, since his signature is quite valuable to collectors. It works, they get their signature, and send it off to be authenticated. They get back a note congratulating them on the forgery; the signature is quite correct, but they pulled it off the Declaration of Independence as it was in 1776, on fresh parchment rather than 200yo parchment.

At least that's somewhat possible with hormones, although growing that fast would require millions of calories and would be absolutely agonizing. I wouldn't pick boy scouts to grow up though, a lot of them are maladjusted and in the scouts in the hope that discipline will sort them out. At least, in my experience with the boy scouts.
