If you're looking for a read to pass time without a lot of fuss and won't really leave you feeling any extreme emotions, this is the comic for you.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A graphic novel story about two lizard friends trying to determine where they are from.

A delightful little tale about two lizards who go on a existential quest to find out where they come from. It's irreverent and, of course, they don't get any real answers, but they do come to accept their lot in life.

A quirky philosophical read for children of all ages. Readers follow lizards named Saturday and Sunday as they explore their atoll in search of answers to the big questions of life. In a journey reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels, the friends encounter a range of creatures living life in their own ways, ranging from mystic religiosity to mindless pleasure. With its simple plot and abstract nature, some young readers will get bored. But readers with a philosophical bent will enjoy this colorful graphic novel.

My long-established rule where translated books is concerned, is that they are adapted at the pace at which they deserve to be. So I could end the write-up of this piffle right away, with the fact it took NINETEEN YEARS before anyone got to the bottom of the pile and took to turning it into English. Yes, nineteen years. In that timespan we can see our children leave the cradle behind and more or less have kids of their own. Chances are the creators of this book have forgotten all about it already.

I read it five minutes ago, after all, and I've forgotten all about it already. Some kind of piss-take of philosophy, in a style that makes Bone look like the Mona Lisa.

I didn't enjoy it. The humour didn't gel with me. The art is good but the story missed the mark for me.

If you read many European comic you begin to recognize a sort of random quality to the narrative absent from their American counterparts. Fans of Asterix and Tintin will find similarities in Saturday and Sunday. At face value, this is a story about a pair of friends having a low level adventure around their home, talking to other residents and exploring their island. At heart, it's an exploration of existential questions. These characters are asking about the nature of life and our purpose on this planet, seeking wise figures and sources of knowledge. Most of their attempts at an answer are met with silliness, but for the most part that humor adds to the meaning. The cartoony style, reminiscent of the Smurfs, belie the complexity of the topic. While it doesn't find any real answers it does reassure the reader that these questions are a normal part of life and that none of us are alone.

An amusing story about two lizards called Saturday and Sunday. They live a peaceful life on a tropical atoll and life is good, until the day Saturday begins to question the meaning of their existence.

And then the adventure starts because they decide to travel actoss the atoll to find the answers to Saturday's questions. As they do so they make new friends, fall into trouble and out of it again.

This is a story which is suitable for all ages. The artwork is OK and the graphics are suitably quirky for a quirky and enjoyable story.

Saturday and Sunday are lizards who embark on an adventure. The adventure begins when Saturday suffers from a case of acute questionitis. They travel all over in order to find the answers and they meet some interesting characters along the way.

I really enjoyed this book. The illustrations are lovely. Saturday and Sunday are inquisitive characters who were engaging and fun. The story is interesting and it has elements of humour. What I especially like is the relationship between the characters and how they knew each other so well. They were both open to new opportunities and showed courage while on their journey.

As a teacher, I would recommend this book to use in lessons that talk about acceptance and friendship. I felt these were prominent topics throughout the book. Saturday and Sunday exhibit the ability to accept the characters they met for who they were and I feel this is a positive message to share. The illustrations are bright, colourful and engaging.

Thanks to Cathryn Grant, NetGalley and Europe Comics for this ARC.

This was a pretty cute book about the questions we all have at some point or another. I really liked the art style and the ending was nice. Definitely something fun for, well anyone to read. I had a lot of fun reading it!!

Quick pacing and vibrant colored illustrations will keep readers entertained. I really appreciate how curious these characters were, especially Saturday. Reminded me of my younger self growing up and questioning everything, including the big questions that even adults don't have a clear answer to. An overall relatable tale of growing up in such a big world that often times makes us feel small.

Really funny and a super quick read, good for all ages. I think it is fantastic and I like it a lot!

This was a very cute comic. I loved the art style and the adventure type story. It almost reminded me a little bit of Calvin and Hobbes. I think many kids will enjoy this story. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a light hearted short comic book.

I gave this graphic novel a three out of five stars. It was nice, I like the little adventure they go on and their friendship. I feel like my niece would enjoy this.

This story follows Saturday and Sunday on their journey around the atoll for answers to their many questions in hopes of finding where they came from.
This story gently handled the discussion of life and death well and would therefore be a great book for young children and paired with the vivid art style, is bound to keep them interested.
For me, I enjoyed the pictures and the story but found it somewhat confusing and extremely unsatisfying as no answers are given at the end.
Would thoroughly recommend for children and teens but as a young adult, it didn't appeal to me in the same way unfortunately!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a cute comic about two lizards called Saturday and Sunday who want to know what is on the other side of the atol where they live as they want to know where they came from and how they got here. They have many unanswered questions and ultimately find out that its the road travelled not the destination that counts.
This book is a gentle telling of life, death and religion too.

Saturday and Sunday are a pair of lizards living the good life, until they start questioning their life and how they came to be at the beach they currently at.
This sends them on a journey of questions where the see different places like Rock Heaven where there's nothing but rocks and a tyrannosaurus valley with a CEO dinosaurs and they find more about life and themselves.
It's really philosophical in a charming way, and I guess I'll keep an eye out for the 2nd volume (which I hope would be coming!)

'Saturday and Sunday: Rock Heaven Part 1' by Fabian Vehlmann with art by Gwen de Bonneval is a series of short comics about 2 lizards having an existential crisis.

Saturday and Sunday live on a beach on an atoll. One morning, questions cross their minds like "how did we get here?" and "what is this atoll we live on?" This sends them on a journey to meet other strange creatures that seem to have the answers. Many don't. The questions lead to more questions.

This is funny cartoons, with some interesting cleverness woven in. It's not deep philosophically, but I like what the author did here. the illustrations are clever and colorful.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me this copy for free in exchange for an honest review.

In this comic we follow Saturday and Sunday on many small adventures around the world. They are having quite what you could say an existential crisis in the beginning which leads them to go on said adventures.

I wasn't a huge fan of the artstyle, usually I love it all but this one was a bit of a bummer for me. Like I always appreciate many art styles but for some reason I couldn't really find myself comfortable with this one.

The story itself is very cute. I think it's fun how they go on all these adventures to find out where they came from and to basically find their identity. I also enjoyed that they kept meeting new characters through their journey and making new friends here and there, I thought it was very cute.

Overal I would rate this a 3 out of 5 stars, I would recommend it though!

I enjoyed going on the quest for knowledge with Saturday and Sunday. What an adorable, well draw, relatable experience, for anyone who’s ever questioned where we come from, and what our place is in the world.
