Image Text

Of the two Garfields, you wouldn't think the cat would turn out to be the more compelling presidential speechwriter, but there you go.

Description

I can't find any confirmation that any of these words are references to something from former US President James Garfield or Garfield the cartoon cat. However, Garfield the cartoon cat has a a bunch of different images emphasizing the greatness of the weekend and bemoaning the existence of the first day of the work week, Monday.

And of course, the comic was posted on a Monday, so the comic is timed to emphasize that.

And of course, in the first image, there is a reference to the Lover Boy song "Everybodys Workin For the Weekend". [1]. "We are all working for the weekend" is a reference to the title and lyrics in the Lover Boy song which indicate that "Everybody's working for the weekend."
