DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

What a difference an hour made.

This is a comic strip In a wide shot of the backyard, Guy is raking leaves when his neighbor sticks his head over the fence. Neighbor says: “Howdy neighbour!” Guy replies: “Hey neighbor!” Guy and the neighbor stand at the fence. Neighbor says: “Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour tomorrow morning.” Guy and the neighbor are still at the fence. Neighbor says: “You know… because of daylight savings.” Guy looks annoyed by this news. Guy shouts: “Daylight savings?!? Ha!!!” Guy, looking angry, declares: “More like… daylight… uhmmm…” He gets preoccupied trying to come up with a clever comeback. Guy mutters: “Uuuhhhhh… stupid daylight… savings? No.” Neighbor says: “Well, I gotta go. Bye!” The neighbor walks away, waving friendly. Guy walks back toward the house, dragging the rake behind him, lost in thought as he tries to come up with a witty comment about daylight savings. He says: “Daylight… frickin’ daylight… deficit?” Later, Guy is in bed, still thinking. He says: “Daylight… debt?” Guy tosses and turns in bed. He mumbles: “Uhm… daylight… expenses?” After several hours, he’s still wide awake and exhausted. He mutters: “Dumb… daylight… wasting…?” A caption says: “The next morning.” Guy walks into the backyard. His body is slumped, his face tired and unshaven, with dark circles under his eyes. The neighbor greets him and says: “Good morning, neighbor. Say, you don’t look so good.” Guy replies: “Those fricking daylight savings cost me my precious sleep.” Neighbor says: “But we had an extra hour.” Guy shouts: “Precious sleeeeeep!!!”
