Specific Days, Specific image on Front Page

Question

Is there a plugin that will allow me to do the above?

Basically I have a webcomic that updates twice a week with two different stories. http://www.lunarblade.com What I would like to be able to do is have it somehow automatically use image A for Tuesdays that'll tell people there's a new page of story A, and image B on Thursdays to show there's a new page of story B.

So if anyone knows a solution, via plugin or scripts (I'm a novice scripter of CSS), I would be very appreciative. I would love to find something that sets a specific image for a specific day. Thank you for your time reading this!

Unless i missunderstood you,
This should be easy to do without using a plugin...

Embed this in your functions.php:

function echoDayImage() {
    // GET CURRENT DAY
    $currentDay = get_the_time('l');

    // CHECK DAY AND ECHO SUITABLE IMAGE
    if($currentDay = 'Sunday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Sunday.jpg';}
    elseif($currentDay = 'Monday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Monday.jpg';}
    elseif($currentDay = 'Tuesday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Tuesday.jpg';}
    elseif($currentDay = 'Wednesday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Wednesday.jpg';}
    elseif($currentDay = 'Thursday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Thursday.jpg';}
    elseif($currentDay = 'Friday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Friday.jpg';}
    elseif($currentDay = 'Saturday') {echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/Saturday.jpg';}
}

Then in the location you wish to use it just use the function:

<?php echoDayImage(); ?>

(learn more about formatting date / time here: Customizing the Time and Date)

EDIT 1 (for comment explenation)

function echoDayImage() {
    // GET CURRENT DAY
    $currentDay = get_the_time('l');
    echo TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/days/'.$currentDay;
}
