(There are no clues in the strips leading up to this one)
Does this need a Geezer tag?
Perhaps to the general public but not to comic strip afficianadios?
(And please note that all we’re discussing here are the comics strips in question themselves)

Does the clock mean “wind”?
And is there significance to this being a grandfather clock, other than the fact that it has to be (re)wound?
And as an aside… do/did grandfather clocks have to be manually wound? My grandfather had one (appropriately enough), but I don’t remember ever having seen him to it.
One of these days I need to look up…
What percentage of comic strip reading is done online as opposed to in physical newspapers?
Because I’m thinking we might have reached the point where cartoonists should no longer be drawing comics that aren’t readable on computer screens (let alone phones or tablets): either because the text is just too small, or because the panel needs to be rotated 90 degrees to be read.

Photos: A Public Service Announcement [OT]
I can’t repeat this enough:
Every important photograph you own needs to have relevant information written on the back: date and names of subjects at the very least.
Digital photos can have the information embedded in the file.
You think you’ll always remember. You won’t. And even if you do, future generations will have no idea why you thought this photo was worth passing down.
