   Ben Franklin was also interested in that too.

   I wish I had known a real version of Bernice. I wish I did now too.

   It does not matter what time you set you clock to. Set it an hour ahead or set it an hour back. The amount of daylight does not change. That New Zealand bug guy must have had a bug brain.

   Bernice is the best character in the cast. I do wish Mr. Evans would bring her back.

   In the 4th panel, Bernice’s face is not as round as normally drawn. It is a good improvement.

   The New Zealand guy knew the amount of daylight wouldn’t change, but he probably just wanted to get to the pub before last call or something like that.

   I reckon much of the cast are changing nowadays. Could be a portent.
   The biggest potential for change actually is Dirk. I’ve been considering his place in this show lately.
   Either write him out forever or more likely show that he has truly reformed.

   DST is a pointless scam. Give me standard time year-round!

   We are a few minutes into DST here in the USA midwest.
   I have a great idea, let’s stay on DST permanently.

    This is why we don’t need to see Bernice…….

    We had that for a couple of years in the 1970’s. Was shouted down. My impression was that some of the loudest shouters were parents whose children had to wait for school buses in the dark. That started the string of compromises that led to where we are now.

    In the 1970s the justification for year-round DST was supposedly energy conservation. but I’ve never seen any studies that demonstrate that this is actually true.

    At last, Bernice is not pure kill-joy sarcasm.

    As I have been saying, DST needs to be reduced. Back in the many years gone by, it was saving a lot of things, but not anymore. My proposal is have DST begin on the last Sunday in May and then end on the first Sunday in September. Keep in mind this was the G. W. Bush Administration that came up with this idiotic idea to expand DST. My group has come with a more intelligent idea to reduce it!

    Some states like Arizona maintain the same time all year ’round.

    How old are you? We did that in the 70s. It was proved to be ineffective in saving energy, and people were just too adapted to DST.
