  1. Three-panel black-and-white comic: A stick figure speaks from a stage behind a podium to three audience members. "We all hate springing forward, but we love falling back. Therefore, we are abolishing the spring time change only. We’ll gain an hour every year, but never lose one." Someone asks, "Won’t that cause the clocks to spiral out of sync with the sun?" The speaker raises one arm and replies, "Then we will meet the chaos clear-eyed and well-rested!" Hidden text: "All discussions of daylight saving time policy are doomed by a mix of contradictory, inconsistent, and impossible preferences, which is why I think the only thing we can really hope to do is to make it worse."
