Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- 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).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It didn’t become 2 AM. It was still 2 PM, but on a day that Jenkins 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.
Why is he in bed saying “it’s the middle of the night” then.
Your explanation does not fit with the comic.
If Jenkins would have said “but i don’t work on Wednesday” and his boss said “it’s Thursday “. That would have fit your scenario.
“It’s the middle of the night!” is an exclamation people often make when they’re woken up. Normally it actually is night; in this case it wasn’t but Jenkins still said that because he had just been woken up and was confused.
