Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 01, 2014

They always get you in your sleep.

But it still wasn’t a question.

Daylight savings was invented with the Industrial Age in order to keep people on the job late in the day and save on artificial light costs. Doing the change at night doesn’t raise any questions.

stupid daylight savings time. it doesn’t save energy. it doesn’t help farmers. and, it doesn’t help kids.

Daylight savings is an act against all that’s holy and good. Nuff said.

Really you morons are going to make this comic political. Why don’t you just shut up and read the comic or go to the political section.

I don’t think he has his high school diploma yet.

Setting the clocks back an hour at 2am Sunday morning is fine, but when we set them ahead it should be at 2pm Monday afternoon.

Daylight savings time probably did save money back in the day when factories and businesses had windows and the daylight saved on artificial lighting. Today businesses like that are increasingly rare. Big box stores rarely even have windows. On balance, the hours of productivity lost by the changeover are far more significant than any savings on lighting. It’s true that there are some advantages for construction, farming, and other outdoor work but fewer and fewer people have been doing that work in recent decades.

Me, I would like it if Daylight Saving Time began on the last Sunday in May and end on the first Sunday in September. We’re downsizing everything else, why not downsize DST? It’s not saving us anything!

Forget about the arbitrarily changing dates of “Spring forward/Fall back.” Change your smoke detector batteries on Halloween and April Fool’s Day instead. Those dates aren’t likely to change.

Caulfield – would you rather have an extra hour of sleep – or have an extra hour of school? :D

Finally that clock above our dining table will be accurate for the next 6 months. I got tired of it running an hour slow all the time.

Because, knowing what Saddam was like, it would have occurred eventually if we had not removed him before he got nukes.

comicsssfan: You probably should have skipped all that and gone directly to college.

So if Mrs Olsen needs it to be a question, Caulfield should simply use the strategy used during Question Time in the British Parliament — begin his statement with the phrase “Isn’t it true…”

Alexikakos: In their beginning, CNN was fairly reliable, but lately they are getting to be more like a Fox cub.

Heard about those “WMDs” years ago. They were called “Weapons of Mass Headaches” then.
