Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 03, 2013

Just Beautiful!

Shout out to Peter Max!

I have met Peter Max twice and own one of his paintings and was thrilled to see your strip today.

Steve Skelton (2 Cows & A Chicken) is also influenced by Peter Max.

Without it in the summer the sun would come up at 4am. I’d have to board up my windows to keep it from waking me up. Meanwhile in the winter, if we kept daylight savings all year the sun wouldn’t come up until 9am and that would be obscene.

@Debt Free….well, gee. I happen to be an employed liberal and proud of it. I have no idea what the two things in your comment had to do with each other, or for that matter, with the subject at hand. As for DST, whether you like it or detest it has more to do with being a night owl or an early bird than anything else.

When I was about 14 I had a Peter Max belt with a buckle that had changeable inserts of his art.

Point finger at the Germans…

No wonder kids love Frazz, he’s one of them & that’s the reason he understands them so well.

The further north you live, the more DST makes sense. Since I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, I appreciate the extra daylight hours at a time when I am awake to experience them.

Impressive scenery!!

A little touch of Sgt. Pepper’s LHC there? Or maybe Yellow Submarine.

Yes. I don’t know why though.

Yep.

Also Indiana, but not all of Indiana.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana

If you don’t like the comments, don’t read them.

I hate the end of daylight savings time. First the trees strip to bare branches, then the time shifts so it’s dark before the afternoon is even over. And it all leads to one thing – the cold sleet and snow of winter. My clocks are all set, including my few remaining ones that don’t set themselves. And I’m already dreaming of Spring.

But I definitely like the idea of double daylight savings for part of the year. If, for no other reason, just to listen to the conservatives complain.

DST did make sense when Ben Franklin first proposed it, and it did save on candles and gas-lights, when they were in use. After Mr. Edison brought us electric lights, DST’s usefulness diminished significantly. with regards to indoor activities, but it does allow us to have sports activities in the summer evenings on fields without lights.

I have a friend who worked in three different places…southern Michigan, northern Indiana, and Chicagoland Indiana..MI went on DST, but IN didn’t.so in the summer they were an hour off. But in Chicagoland, they were on Central time, like Illinois, and would go on DST….So Chicagoland would be the same time as IN, in the summer, but still behind MI by an hour…..Needless to say, he never really knew what time it was…..I have a friend that lives in Valparaiso, IN, (Veil of Paradise..) and drives to St. Joe in MI, a lot. It’s an hour car ride. Takes him a minute to get there, and two hours to get back…..according to the clocks….

While it was old Ben’s idea, it was proposed as a joke. It appears that the powers that be are too dense to get it.

The eastern and western ends of a time zone can be an hour apart sun-wise, yet people manage quite well. It’s the sudden change that is complained about.

Doesn’t bother me one way or another.

Actually, I like DST. I am a “night person” and therefore sleep in most mornings. That one extra hour of daylight is very welcome!

Love this

Love the Peter Max!!!

There has been a lot of comment about how hard it is to quit tobacco (worse than heroin, I’ve been told), but how about the tectonic headache that comes with trying too quit caffeine?
