For those left with any Back to the Future-related questions even after Robert Zemeckis's exhaustive pitch meeting, here are some answers in some pretty cool forms.

Firstly: a stylish Back to the Future series timeline designed by Mushir Hoda. I'm not sure this trail of thick dashed lines really clarifies all that much, but it looks nice, and like that it helps me envision the film as a Family Circus comic.

Second, there's this postcard from Tom Wilson--best known as bully Biff Tennen--that comes pre-printed with answers to all the stock BTTF questions he gets asked on a regular basis. On it, you'll learn that he was "the one who coined the term 'butthead'," and Crispin Glover is apparently not as much of a freak as you'd assume, which is frankly a disappointment. But not as disappointing as the news, "The DeLorean was an inferior automobile." Now what am I supposed to envision myself driving into my enemies?

See both below.
