B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for August 08, 2018

I tried telling my boss that once…

I don’t work there anymore.

Math and astronomy are closely tied. DST and moronicity are somewhat associated.

daylight savings is BS

time is pliable

Funny how the clock also has marks on the south (left) side. And apparently it’s a heavily overcast day: no shadows!

You have to adjust for the seasons anyway, so you might as well.

Sundials must be rotated regularly. DST is not the biggest problem here.

Clocks don’t matter much to the folks that feed the country. If it’s light enough to see, it’s light enough to work.

And this time of year, praise the Lord for headlight.

I have a wrist sundial but it doesn’t keep good time.

To people who tell time by the sun, and who use local time rather than being part of wide time zone, DST is indeed nonsense.

well in its moronic phase the Florida government voted to keep DST all year around – that should prove fun for travelers

Not that I expect a comic strip about cavemen speaking English to be realistic, but that sundial design is not going to work very well.

Didn’t have to deal with these issues when I was in Ecuador. Sun rises at 6 a.m., sets at 6 p.m. 24/7/365. (Linguist, please correct me if this is not still the case).

Back when the adage was work from can see to can’t see. Now, for many, it seems to be can’t see working

It’s the old Indian saying….only a White Man would cut off one side of a blanket and sew it on the other end, and think he has more blanket…..

As I understand it, daylight savings time came about because of a suggestion Benjamin Franklin made, but according to Franklin he wasn’t serious when he made the suggestion and he could never understand why people took the joke so seriously.

Daylight Saving Time, not “Savings.”

The concept of Daylight Savings (or Saving) Time is crime against nature and humanity, especially me.

A team at University of California Davis (engineering school) computed that the extended months cost more energy; the intent of the politicians was to save energy but they refuse to admit they made a mistake.

Didn’t anyone else notice that at first it is Peter asking the question, but he magically disappears, and is replaced by B.C.?Plus, what is up with Curls’ nose? I hardly recognized him in the first panel.

My complaint is in changing the measuring system instead of simply changing what we do at various times.

We can thank the WWI Germans for Daylight Savings Time. They decided if they moved the clocks an hour, and I seem to recall it might have been more then one hour, they would have more Daylight hours to fight in and in the process save the fuel needed for lamps at that time. They would also be attacking while the French and British were just getting up and having breakfast.

OK, so in summer the sun rises earlier; we like the serfs to get to work earlier. So why on earth change all the clocks??!! Just tell them to get to work at seven instead of eight.

…Or the fact that we only see ten hour marks, with only enough room behind the obscuring stone for one more (opposite the one flush with the bottom of the panel). If that bottom one is 6 o’clock, the one at nine o’clock seems to be unpaired.

… it’s daylight S-A-V-I-N-G… there isn’t a second “S”.

Why did peter turn into b.c.?
