Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: The zero in a large wall labeled November 30 is an opening which leads to December. A man runs through the opening carrying a long shopping list. A stack of books representing end-of-the-year business and accounting work sits in his path, along with a sign warning him not to trip; the man is looking back toward the viewer and probably has not seen the stack of books. Santa Claus sits on a throne next to a reindeer and a Christmas tree under a sign which says December. A boy and a girl sit on steps which lead up to Santas throne. Knechts elephant, wearing an overcoat and earmuffs, remarks that it feels more like the end of the year now (at the end of November) than it will in a month (at the end of December).
