[[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.

| โ | 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 | + | When you actually stop and think about the speech, the argument turns into utter nonsense.

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. |
No confirmation has yet been found that any of these words are references to something from former US President {{w|James Garfield}} or to {{w|Garfield}} the cartoon cat who are the two speech writers mentioned in the title text. However, Garfield the cartoon cat has often bemoaned the existence of Monday (ironically, because he is a cat and not subject to the common human work schedule). 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. | No confirmation has yet been found that any of these words are references to something from former US President {{w|James Garfield}} or to {{w|Garfield}} the cartoon cat who are the two speech writers mentioned in the title text.
