Woe to sidekicks. The ever-underrated second bananas never get their moments in the sun. Worse, they’re the ones who usually have to take the bullet so the hero can live to fight another day. Replaceable, that’s what they are. Sure, time can fly, heal all wounds and save nine in a single stitch. But without its partner, the calendar, what would be there to bring order to time’s crazy impulses? Okay, so the calendar has a tendency to run out when time has seemingly met its match (i.e., December 31, every year), but it always comes back renewed and ready to face another day.
