That's only if the clocks tick. If you use electronic clocks and keep them all in sync with NTP, you're fine. ;)

2019-02-25 04:41:23 +0000 UTCWhat about young guys with shelves full of waifus?

2019-02-21 03:08:16 +0000 UTClol, I love Brun so much.

2019-02-21 03:07:35 +0000 UTCThat was a cautionary shoutout to collectors everywhere. I'm thinking right now of old guys with garages full of action figures.

2019-02-20 15:24:43 +0000 UTCMy grandmother collected clocks. Lots of them, ticking, ticking. The top of the hour could be pretty intense, especially at 11 and 12. I think this is spot on.

2019-02-20 11:38:11 +0000 UTCThis makes me think of the opening to this bit from The Goon Show: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctM_Rvgjfpo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctM_Rvgjfpo</a>

2019-02-20 11:22:32 +0000 UTCGet a big enough collection of anything and it ends up owning you, not the other way around.
Dean Reilly
2019-02-20 09:54:37 +0000 UTCI can't help but think of Jeremy, the Completely Sane clockmaker from Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time

2019-02-20 09:30:06 +0000 UTCDepends on what makes them tick...

2019-02-20 09:17:50 +0000 UTCCollecting clocks eventually sends you a little cuckoo?

2019-02-20 07:53:00 +0000 UTCLooks like someone's been playing Sunless Skies. The whole Royal Horological Office is about something like last panel... and then it gets worse. Much worse.

2019-02-20 07:15:25 +0000 UTCAll those out-of-sync ticks really will drive you insane, though. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.
Ian Wolfe
2019-02-20 07:10:03 +0000 UTCThat's a real concern

2019-02-20 06:51:37 +0000 UTCBrun do you...know this from experience?

2019-02-20 06:43:08 +0000 UTChey, if you haven't already check out "theif of time" by (GNU) Terry Pratchett. Characters are very similar to Brun

2019-02-20 05:40:57 +0000 UTCMine never lands on the tockmark when it ticks. You decide which is worse.

2019-02-20 05:16:14 +0000 UTCOne of my biggest pet peeves is clocks with second hands that don't land on a tickmark when they tock. I had jury duty a couple of years ago and the clock's second hand kept persistently landing about 2/3 of the way from one tick to the next, every single tock, both on the downswing and the upswing. I felt like I needed medicating by the end of the day.
Buck Caldwell
2019-02-20 05:14:01 +0000 UTCThe last panel makes me think of 'Midnight by the Morphy Watch', though that's more chess-focused than clock-focused.

2019-02-20 05:02:40 +0000 UTCI think you mean the collector starts "tok-ing" back. Talk, tok. I'll go now...

2019-02-20 05:02:15 +0000 UTCI think this wins the internet, today

2019-02-20 04:52:53 +0000 UTCOk. Brun, sometimes you scare me, even WITHOUT the harpoon.
2019-02-20 04:48:36 +0000 UTCThat last panel, though! ❤️
Erin Hartshorn
2019-02-20 04:36:57 +0000 UTCWe have 2 clocks in one room, the seconds take turns going in and out of phase as one is slightly faster than the other one. I can imagine enough of them would get.... interesting.

Gary Walker
2019-02-20 04:30:38 +0000 UTCBrun is, in her own way, among Jeph's more interesting characters. Those last few panels bring to mind Alice (of Alice Grove, natch).

Andrea Andrew
2019-02-20 04:22:38 +0000 UTCWhen I bought my house, it was owned by the person Brun is describing. Luckily, they took their time. On quiet nights, I still hear ticking.
Al Hunt
2019-02-20 04:21:17 +0000 UTCI am absolutely here for the clock madness. I need all of it.
Mordaeus
2019-02-20 04:15:04 +0000 UTCIt seems like every time Clinton talks to Brun, the conversation suddenly takes a dark turn.
