When I was young, if I ever said “Satur” my mom would wash my mouth out with soap.

Satur-nail-ya!

The word Saturday can be traced back to the Latin Sāturnī diēs (literally “Saturn’s day”). That led to the Old English pronunciation and spelling Saternesdæg, followed by the Middle English Saturdai before English speakers settled on Saturday

Satur Farms is a chef-based farm growing baby-leaf crops such as Wild Arugula, Baby Spinach, Mesclun and specialty greens for retailers and wholesalers …

The boys are asking really good questions!

Saturday, by any other name, is still a day off for most people.

In the first panel the boy with the glasses (can’t find his name, even though I know the name was mentioned in the strip before) looks like a childhood picture of a former president.

SUNday, Mercday, Venday, Earthday, Marsday, Jupiday, Saturnday
