    What you do for family: Every time her sister visited, the clock stopped and Margaret had to reset it.

    Mileva Marić had a better understanding of time and understood why they called him “Always Late Albert”.

    I think there was an Oscar-winning movie made about this. The title was “High Noon”.

    Helga now regrets asking her husband, Johann the Giant, to hang the clock and the picture of her mother on the wall.

    Though in our admiration she basks/ She’s burdened with onerous tasks. / We are keenly alert/ To what’s under her skirt/ but in this dump, nobody asks…

    How does she know what time to reset it to?

    Ever the contrarian, Bette was going to make sure that a stopped clock wasn’t right twice a day.

    Helga had missed her audition, so she turned the clock back to get a second chance.

    She harrumphed while setting the time, thinking if she wore a shorter skirt she wouldn’t need the step stool to get on to the chair.

    Woman Setting the Clock or Winding the Clock

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Hugo Kauffmann" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and chose the first Category: containing ff link found (Hugo Kaufmann was a sculptor), and once there, search for the text 1893 and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly A5 paper size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3146 (June 11, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment containing info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by him have been used here, the December 7, 2022, strip being the prior.

    Ilsa the maid never understood why, buy the master always insisted that she hike up her skirt when she sets the clock.

    just so Elvire doesn’t get stood up yet again, she backs the clock up to give him a better chance to be on time.

    I am so glad my boss isn’t smart enough to realize I move the clock up 15 minutes every day to get off early.

    Daisy all ways considered her ankles to be her best feature and was constantly coming up with new ways to show them off.

    When I realized that my entries here on GoComics were no longer visible to anyone other than me, I began writing my comments on Steve Melcher’s blog and continued to do so until my “exile” ended and most (but, unfortunately, not all) of my earlier posts were restored. Copied below is my entry for today from the blog:

    /// It’s the time to be setting clocks back,

    so it’s also the time to keep track

    of their home’s smoke alarm,

    which will keep them from harm.

    (When there’s smoke, Grandpa’s cough turns to hack.)

    /// There’s a very precarious climb

    just to see the clock and set the chime.

    “Tell me why,” she’d beseech,

    “Hang it out of my reach?”

    Grandpa’s answer to her: “It’s high time.”

    /// The real reason that Grandpa preferred

    the clock up near the ceiling occurred

    every hour. It would fall,

    (if hung low), off the wall

    from cat pouncing upon cuckoo bird.
