Came into the office this morning and found this gem waiting for us.

“Mr. Malca’s 8th grade American History Class loves The Week”

We especially love the kid on the left who looks like he might karate chop the magazine. Glad to see The Week is getting some good use in the classroom. Thanks, Mr. Malca’s class!

Next week’s issue goes out tomorrow, enjoy!

“Ok this is not a picture of me, but a famous celebrity photo. I’m amazed no one noticed it before!”

An awesome sighting of a celebrity reading THE WEEK, sent to us by Julian Jones from Munich, Germany. Julian has been a subscriber for 3 months, and before becoming a subscriber, he says was stealing copies from his ex-girlfriend.

We love our readers because they’re clever, and apparently good with Photoshop. If you want to submit a photo, here’s how to do it.

Love this photo (and how it’s clearly taken on a webcam, as evident by the fact that everything’s backwards!)

Surely, from San Luis Obispo, CA. “Just can’t put down my copy of The Week — enjoy the puzzles, articles and now Facebook!”

If you’re a reader, and you want to reveal your lovely face to us, send us a photo of yourself curled up with the magazine. We’ll feature it on our Facebook. Hit us up at Facebook@theweek.com!
