Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon
| Description: |
Santa Claus stands in the top left corner of the cartoon in front of a sign indicating that it is Friday, December 13th. He laughs at the idea that the day is unlucky and says that it is actually lucky because the stores are open late to allow people to get their shopping done. He pats Public on the head as Mrs. Public drags him off to do their shopping. A reindeer standing next to Santa says that people are funny.
