POGO: October 1st is the New January 1st

I meant to post this last week but I forgot. Here's a classic strip from January 1969 (I believe) reprinted from the first POGO book I ever owned, IMPOLLUTABLE POGO. In it, Howland Owl, Churchy LaFemme, and Beuregard (three of the more so-called clever critters in the swamp) consider making October 1st the first day of the year instead of January 1st. Notice that Pogo and Porky get fed up with their ideas and walk off. :-)
