A comic entitled False Spring with the text, “feeling tired because of the time change but also excited for more light? DON’T BE! Because 6:12 am to 6:34 pm and 7:12 am to 7:34 pm ARE THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAYLIGHT! Don’t be fooled! Only the Earth’s time can affect the day’s length! Brought to you by people against changing the damn clocks (or pretending they have the power to save daylight)
