This can be taken two ways. If she walked until it was dark, she walked an extra hour but if she walked until a set time, she got through an hour earlier and thus should not have gotten tired. Obviously the first option makes the most sense.
By the look of the strip, she started walking at least two hours before sunset and kept on walking until after dark. That’s about three and a half hours of walking. No wonder she’s beat! The real question is – what’s going on with that? Why is she out walking herself into exhaustion?
This is the best daylight savings time cartoon I have ever seen. Inspired! For those who didn’t get it, she changed her watch, set out at her usual hour, late in the afternoon, expecting out of habit as usual to walk until sundown, but forgot that it would take an extra hour till then.

Evening stroll becomes exhausting due to sleep deficit ?

For the sun to move that far, she’d have to walk about 3-4 hours, wouldn’t she?

She started out at a certain time, and walked until sundown.

Did Janis forget her phone?? The correct time would automatically be updated and she would of known the correct time.

It’s a metaphor people. JJ is simply using his art form to express what occurs to our bodies when we participate in this idiototic time shifting!

I haven’t been the same since the Fall time change….1975.

I walk the same distance every day, not by what time it is. Wouldn’t she just stop walking when she got tired?

I still love Daylight Savings Time, so I guess it’s worth it to me — just wish we could be on it all year and skip all the hassle.

Not quite sure why it got dark, since it stays light an hour longer. Does she “walk until it gets dark?” Are we supposed to know that?

Walked in circles until it got dark? Perhaps Jimmy needs to get out more…
