A. Otis is still asleep because he's sleeping off a drunk - it is only 1:50 pm and he probably got in late from drinking B. Barney probably didn't have time to read the comics before church so reading after church while waiting for Andy (who probably spent time chatting with folks after the service) C. Andy and Barney would both be dressed up because they would have just finished attending church. D. As others have pointed out - dinner is the mid day meal for many people E.
