I dont think the math checks out buddy
But if you set the clock back 24 its still 2 PM?
2PM - 24 Hours is 2PM the day before. So the time would not change.
What do I missunderstand?
Correct, it was still 2 PM, but Jenkins thought it was 2 PM on a day that he’d already worked.
Jenkins was planning to go to bed on Wednesday the 28th at 10 PM and had his next alarm set for 6 AM on Thursday the 1st. He then adjusted his clock back to Tuesday the 27th at 10 PM, planning to sleep 8 hours plus the entirety of the “extra” Wednesday.
Methinks it’s not Jenkins that needs to figure out how time works, it’s the cartoonist
24 hours before 2pm would be, checks notes, 2pm.
I get what they were going for but I don’t understand the last panel at all.
