((The whole comic is a single panel, with a circular diagram of the days of the week.))
Polar graph of what stuff happens on which days, based on number of Google results for phrases like "company meeting on <day>."
The relative frequency of <day> in <phrase> is shown by the distance from the center at which <phrase>'s line crosses <day>.
Each curve is normalized to have the same number of total hits - they're not on the same scale.
((Not easy to reproduce the actual plot, these are the phrases, in order of popularity on Wednesday.))
1. <day> is ladies night
2. announced <day>
3. company meeting on <day>
company meeting <day>
4. due on <day>
5. got laid <day>
6. drunk on <day>
so drunk <day>
7. <day> is the big day
8. Church <day>
9. got my period <day>
10. we broke up on <day>
11. <day> sucked
