ST MONDAY

From Esther McManus

A mini comic about work. Text taken from ‘Useful Work vs Useless Toil’ by William Morris (re-published by Reitlanden Women’s Office). Images informed by ‘Time, Work Discipline and Industrial Capitalism’ by E. P. Thompson.

“Saint Monday is the tradition of absenteeism on a Monday. The tradition has been common among craft workers since at least the seventeenth century when the workweek ran from Monday to Saturday“
