Arkas sends us a pleasant wish for a good weekend, today, Saturday November 23, 2024.
The cartoonist on a purple background depicts Saturday and Sunday sitting in an armchair and chatting.
Saturday is sitting on the arm of the armchair wearing a white dress with blue accents and Sunday is sitting on the armchair also wearing a white dress with yellow color accents.
And they discuss the two days of the week, the last and the first, weaving together a highly hilarious dialogue
– Why did you paint? asks Sunday
– I’m going out tonight! he answers on Saturday
– Be back at 12 because I’ll be out too! says Sunday to laughter
Enjoy the sketch:
