- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Because of like farmers 100 years ago apparently
Actually, not in the slightest:
Been there, done that. Cows absolutely hate DST, as do most livestock, but cows are the worst. And your complete schedule needs to change and it takes months to acclimatize to the new schedule.
It was started during WWI to increase production.
“The first iteration of Daylight Saving Time was officially implemented two years into the First World War in Germany. After Germany established this practice, almost every other country that fought in the war followed suit, including Canada, the United States and much of Europe.”
Nope! Mostly golfers. Farmers never cared for DST.
Daylight savings is the summer and so society could revolve around banking hours by shifting sunrise closer to when the banks open. It has nothing to do with farmers, as they just starting work when the sun is up.
