Please help me with 3 sentences

Could you please tell me how a native speaker would write this?


1 I didn’t see myself get/getting fat. I put on 20Kg over the last 4 years. I didn’t realize it. (How would you phrase? Would you change it?)


Could you say that it’s a “small world” in this context? Is world correct?

2 It’s a small word. Everyone knows each other in the comic world.


How would you have phrased this? Is it correct to say half in half out?

3 I drove by a dumpster and saw a poster half in half out flailing in the wind.

Thank you very much
