In the first image, there is a reference to the {{w|Loverboy}} song "{{w|Working for the Weekend}}"; both the song and the panel refer to how most working and middle-class people are constantly focused on merely surviving until Saturday with enough energy to relax properly. | In the first image, there is a reference to the {{w|Loverboy}} song "{{w|Working for the Weekend}}"; both the song and the panel refer to how most working and middle-class people are constantly focused on merely surviving until Saturday with enough energy to relax properly. | ||

When you actually stop and think about the speech, the argument turns into utter nonsense. Simply renaming every day on the {{w|Gregorian Calendar}} to "Saturday" doesn't actually do anything, and "the first Saturday of the week" would carry the ''exact'' same stigma as "Monday". Furthermore, if Cueball is proposing to abolish the work week entirely, the economy would collapse within days, hours, or possibly even minutes, depending on how quickly the news spread and how rapidly stocks started to sell. This fact may explain why the last panel is drawn in negative, with the background black. It gives a very ominous feeling to the last remark. | When you actually stop and think about the speech, the argument turns into utter nonsense.
