Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: Top left: Calendar pages December 31 and January 1 run in holding hands. December 30 lags behind them. Top right: Public greets the calendar pages enthusiastically, but a man behind him complains. There is also a sketch in the top right margin. Center right: A woman clutches a pillow and says it will be a good chance for her to rest, a small child cries, and a man stands on a ladder to take down a Christmas tree. Bottom left: A man stands next to a clock pointing to 12, and a reminder that 1940 is a leap year. Bottom center: Revelry waits for midnight to blow a horn and a woman pushes baby 1940 in a stroller. Bottom right: The elephant wishes everyone a Happy New Year.
