From the 1997 book The Great Kettles: A Tale of Time pages 12 and 13.

Joey stood in the middle of the Perpetual Absolute Standard Time Clock. Father Time was fast asleep and his assistant Edmund was nearby. Unbeknownst to Joey, the clock had stopped - just as it was supposed to - when it sensed someone traveling through time (as Joey had done with his homemade time machine). Now it was Father Time's job to get the world started again. - Dean Morrissey
