ALT - 0018: THE TIMES ARE CHANGIN’
[ Panel 1 ]
CADENCE: What are you doing, Idiot?
JOSEPH: I must watch the time jump forward, AS it happens, so that I can figure out WHERE the hour goes! It’s the only way to figure out the FATAL FLAW in time travel.
:: Joseph has goggles on and is dressed up like Marty McFly. For some reason he’s under the impression that if he dresses up in Back to the Future cosplay it will help him get into the concept better of time more. ::
[ Panel 2 ]
CADENCE: Are you seriously wa--
JOSEPH: SHHH!
LET’S DO THIS, TIME!
:: The time reads 1:59 AM, exactly one minute before the time changes in the United States. ::
[ Panel 3 ]
{ CLICK }
:: It is now 3:00 AM, 2 AM has now been erased from existence. ::
[ Panel 4 ]
JOSEPH: Great Scott! Did you feel that!?! I… I think I just stopped myself from having sex with my teenaged mom… or rode on a overboard or… went back to the old west in a DeLorean… for some reason.
I don’t know.
It all… happened SO fast.

Why’d it skip from 11:59 to 1:00?Did it all happen within an hour?
Hahaahahahahaha!!!!When I saw the small version, I was like “Who the hell is that guy in the orange vest?”. It all makes sense now.
I love Joseph’s new look, by the way.
Thanks! He sure is more fun to draw now.

Hmm?
Not to be a technical jerk or anything, but the time change actually happens at 2am and not midnight. That way there are no strange date changes when the time “falls back” in October (since 12am actually belonged to the next day and shifting back an hour would flip the date backwards and confuse people and poorly written computer programs).
I sat and thought about that momentarily while I was writing it and assumed for the jokes sake it may be more clear if I wrote Midnight… Idk, I guess I can change it if it’s really that important.
Love those movies, love this comic.I was going to make a joke about hours not going to 88, but then I looked up military time, and the whole joke just got really flat and convoluted.
