Time zones I am unsure of. But I think that it updates about midnight for you. Do try to keep it down with the “FIRST” comments, however. ^_^

East coast australia (where most australians live) is GMT + 11. US East coast is GMT - 4, the usual time difference would be 15 hours, except that Sydney and Melbourne are probably already observing daylight savings, while Brisbane and Surfer’s Paradise don’t (i think). So we need to add +1 if we’re talking about Sydney or Melbourne.

That would mean you need to take away 16 hours from whatever time our dear author says she’ll post the update at and you’ll have the time you need to be up for in Florida. Unless she doesn’t live in the southeastern corner of Oz, as I presumed.

I believe Taeshi lives in Sydney. For the record, east coast Australia is actually in GMT +10.

Both Sydney and Florida observe daylight saving time at different times of the year, which complicates time calculations. Currently, Sydney is 15 hours ahead of most of Florida. It will become 16 hours on November 7, when daylight savings ends for the year in the United States.

Also, if you are so intent on being the first person to comment on a comic, please do not post “FIRST!” or similar. Post a comment about the comic instead. It is always better to take your time and post something of value. You will be far less annoying this way.

The official time zone is GMT +10. Of course, if your state or territory is currently observing daylight saving time, that will add another hour.

Queensland doesn’t have daylight saving time, so you can’t generalize for the whole east coast of Australia.
