The Daily Spread’s audit of the missing extra hour
A satirical news publication treats the fall-back time change as a national audit, mixing reported details with openly labeled comic framing.

- Readers who like evidence-minded satire
- Worth noticing
- Its trust device separates checked clock-change facts, the publication’s sleep interpretation, and claims it explicitly refuses to make.
Field notes
The front page organizes Issue No. 3 into a paper trail, sleep ledger, and finding, then exposes a record box separating checked material from interpretation and non-claims. Its label lab describes a scale from straight reporting through comic treatment to openly invented material; the excerpt also names earlier archive issues on a cartoon pig and mayonnaise. The page says two sleep counts found 11–33 minutes of the 60-minute change reflected in sleep, while noting that the measurers disagree.
