      It’s a surprisingly useless skill in the modern day if you have a digital watch. Most people just use their phone or a smart watch and those show time with plain digits so there’s no interpretation. I forgot how to read an analogue clock face for the longest time, bought a classic watch recently and have picked up the skill again but if I didn’t then I’d never use it and I’d forget it again. Despite what some people think not all skills are unforgettable, it’s just a matter of how useful it is day to day over a long period.

      As a millennial i can read analoge time and i do love the look of mechanical clockwork. But whenever i actually have to read time on them i get this carsick feeling. I do not like interpreting it.

      Someone who grew up on phones has digital time in their pocket at all times. There is zero reinforcement outside school teachings for such.

    The characters switched sides nearly every panel and there are no word lines. I was very confused about who was talking until around the fourth read through of it. It really killed the joke because of that.

    I taught you time and I’ll teach you how to travel. Surely you can figure out the rest yourself.
