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.

MODERATORS
My preference is to stick to standard. If people insist on DST I acquiesce.
I know I could just go live in Arizona, but then I'd have to live in Arizona.
Flagstaff is nice. Williams and Winslow are nice if you're fully remote. Anything South of Camp Verde or Prescott is just ridiculous though.
No. Fuck them. If I'm get a Spring Forward I'm owed a goddamned Fall Back. I spend half a year with an hour's deficit so people going home to watch Netflix after work can pretend they give a damn about an extra hour of sunlight.
Give me Standard Time or pay to move my ass to the West a couple hundred miles to fix it.
Holding that opinion, I am reasonably sure you do not live on the eastern edge of your time zone. Being that militant about it, I reasonably believe you live all the way on the western edge.
That being the case, there's an easier solution. Just redraw the timezone boundaries so your state is just west of the boundary instead of just east, which leaves you on "standard time" in your current timezone, which is "daylight time" to your west.
