Forward Ho!

Three Native Americans are playing music and dancing in pouring rain. Another man, probably a white colonizer, angrily confronts them. "Okay. Fine. Great, you made it rain! Now how about reversing your cotton-picking dance and making it stop?"

"This is our land now! Make it stop raining!"

Not on board with the bit of racism or colonialism, but I do like BIPOC aggravating the white man.

Brutus and Gladys are sitting at a table, eating, but this strip has nothing to do with food. "Tonight's the night to adjust the clocks for Daylight Saving Time," Brutus says. "Just don't do that thing you did last year where you set the clock back and were two hours late for work," Gladys reminds. "I did that intentionally," Brutus responds.
I don't understand how this would help you get out of work. "Oh, I set my clock the wrong way so I'm late." Ok, well we are still docking your pay and taking two hours of your sick/personal time. Companies aren't even sympathetic to you being late during weather events, they certainly aren't going to be sympathetic to your dumbassery.
