Anyway, “It’s written in stone” has more weight to it than “It’s written on paper”.

Use the stone tablets as paperweights

Not sure if stone tablets are that much better if they still float as is shown regularly in this comic…

In a game of Rock Paper Wind, Wind blows paper away.

They need to invent a clipboard.

Paper will never catch on.

But stapling stone tablets together is kind of difficult.

You can lead a guy to paper, but you can’t make him like it. Save the paper for training your wolf.

If you thought the kids have a lot of weight on their backs from their book bags now…..

Can you see a Bill from congress written in stone? The ACA was 906 pages and over 11,000 pages of regulations. It was three feet high written on paper. In stone slabs? Take that to the president for a signature.

Was that a pen or pencil?

What? When is they invent paper?

You don’t need a paper weight if you write on the paper weight.

The only problem is that the slabs will hurt your feet when you drop them…

Well at least with the tablets everything you write will truly be carved in stone.

Ah, yes, the fabled “Paperless Office”… ☺

Gonna need a bigger pencil.

Evidence shows his stone tabs will float. Paper wouldn’t.

I play alto clarinet in a concert band. Sometimes we play outdoors and the wind is a real problem with the sheets of music. Stone slabs, while a bit much for our music stands, would stand up to the wind real well. Of course, I could always just get a large LED tablet and all problems would be solved, except for my bank account.

every new technology has its tradeoffs

Stone tablets will last forever. Much like radioactive waste

Yup. Soon we’ll hear something similar from battery car drivers.

You’re going to need a lot of stones to get an etch-u-cation!

And that, dear children, is why it took so long for paper to catch on…it was too hard to catch.

And the solution is weighty.

Thanks be to their Creators for the tech to create paper.

Advanced cultures can create “paper” that lasts as long as stone maybe longer.

Historical sources credit the invention of paper to Cai Lun, a dignitary serving the imperial Chinese court who, in AD 105, began producing sheets of paper from scraps of old rags, tree bark and fishing nets.Apr 5, 2019
