472: Through Thicket and Thin Wood

Dear Hank & John

About

Does the pandemic loom as an obstacle when writing about something set in the past? Did John and Hank predict the comeback of cottage cheese? What does “through thick and thin" mean, and which one is the bad time?  Are there different sea levels in different areas? Are there fact checkers for fiction novels? Why are so many boys bad at gossip? Should I buy my dad a fake mustache? …Hank and John Green have answers!
