The Weekly Week was a satirical tabloid newspaper published bi-weekly in the Boston area from Fall 1997 to Spring 1999, with a free circulation of 25,000. Billing itself "Boston's Only Redundant News Source for News" and publishing contributions from numerous local stand-up comedians of the time, it parodied a wide range of social, political and cultural topics in much the same manner as the better known publication The Onion, but with a predominantly local focus. The newspaper was founded by Ben Dryer, Michael Jerominski, Eugene Mirman and Brian Spinks. Edited by Bill Wasik, it featured contributions from such comedians as Brendon Small. Black "honor box" newsracks printed with its trademark "WW" logo could at one time be found throughout the Boston area.

Famous quotes containing the words weekly and/or week:
“No—is a term very frequently employed by the fair, when they mean everything else but a negative. Their yes is always yes; but their no is not always no.”
—Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. M, Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 203 (April 1803)
“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
