This where you can buy Saturday (the book)!
Haven’t heard of Saturday? It’s a lavishly illustrated book about an odd family, a rotten swamp of a week, and the wild ride back to almost normal. It’s chock-a-block full of strange characters, odd cultural references, mostly-appropriate jokes, and enough detail to choke that one kind of pig that only eats details. So, it’s like…a lot of detail.

“I’m skeptical, Noah,” I hear you say, skeptically, “I mean,
sure, Saturday is so elaborately drawn it makes me want to spit on an
illustrated manuscript and the book’s size is wide enough to sit a family of
three quite comfortably, but is that really enough for me to want to take this
book home?”
Certainly not, sir or madam. Why, there’s a whole host of other reasons to bring Saturday home to your loved ones. And here they are:
-Saturday is multipurpose!
It’s a mix between a graphic novel and a children’s book. It’s the spork of
books!
-This book will sit by the door (assuming you leave it by the door) and wait loyally for you to return every day. It’s reading material AND a companion. It will also guard your house while you’re away. I mean, it won’t DO anything, but it will be there if someone breaks in. Perhaps the thief will be distracted when they see the book and sit down to read it instead of stealing anything. Then you’ll have TWO companions waiting when you get home. Awww.
-Own a piece of history! This being a book and all (ask your grandparents if you’re unfamiliar with the medium), it continues the proud tradition of Gutenberg and it’s printed on paper just like the…er…ancient Egyptians used to use! Why, paging through Saturday is like traveling through time. Bring a big stick in case you have to fend off Morlocks.
-It’s funny (in parts). Aren’t you tired of all those children’s books about tax law and estate planning? Good news! Saturday has almost none of those things and way more of the stuff enjoy, like bathroom humor and enough references to “The Golden Girls” to make you Blanche!
Still not enough? Ok, you twisted my arm and I'm allergic to pain, so I'll throw in some stickers, too:
Here's what it really for reals looks like. Really. Just to give you an idea of the size of this book: See that tiny little bar below the open book? That's an 18" ruler.
