I think I read about this one somewhere on TV Tropes. I remember it being a comic book but it might have been something else with visuals involved. The basic story is that a time traveler goes back in time in an attempt to change history. However, it turns out that the time traveler doesn't have Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, so they keep coming back to the present and being annoyed that nothing changed, even though the comic's illustrations show that they're actually causing greater and greater changes to the timeline.
