This comic was posted right after the '''weekend''', on a Monday, so it was on time to emphasize that ''we all hate Mondays''. | This comic was posted right after the '''weekend''', on a Monday, so it was on time to emphasize that ''we all hate Mondays''. | ||

[[Cueball]] then goes on to state the fact that any calendar used is just a social consensus and since nature doesn't know the day of the week he simply suggest making this Monday into a Saturday. Actually, why not make all days into Saturday, to have eternal weekends? | [[Cueball]] then goes on to state the fact that any calendar used is just a social consensus and since nature doesn't know the day of the week he simply suggest making this Monday into a Saturday.

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.

However, Garfield the cartoon cat has 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 hence the title text suggest that this speech was written by Garfield the cat, and that this would be a better speech than any delivered by James Garfield. |
