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's also just not a connection most people would make. How do leap years and daylight savings relate at all?
I didn't get the joke until it was explained, but I can explain this much.
In the fall, for daylight savings, you set the clock one hour back. Basically, you get an extra hour that is inserted into the night.
In leap years, you get an extra day, so the joke is that this extra day is inserted into the night.
The analogy doesn't account for the spring part of daylight savings.
