In fiction, [[Web Comics]] in particular, the [[Fourth Wall]] is sometimes [[No Fourth Wall|nonexistent]]; sometimes it is so solid that you can [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|lean on it]]. This is a sliding scale of how solid the [[Fourth Wall]] is.
 
From most solid/hardest, to least solid/softest (Note that promos and the like do not count for this scale):
