JMcAndrew surfaced these Beetle Bailey comics with somewhat the same girlie calendar.
“I’ve seen hundreds of Miss Buxley being sexually harassed comics. I’m still surprised that the syndicate let Mort Walker put fully naked woman in the strip.”
Of course, a calendar is pretty useless for telling you if this is Wednesday or Thursday. But he’s just looking for an excuse.
The others JMcAndrew sent in show that same calendar post, but with strategic additions:
It’s curious that the number of days in a week vary across the calendars.
This type of calendar used to be a common site; it seemed every gas station had one hung up. I can’t remember the last time I saw one hung up.
And here’s today’s vocabulary lesson:
JMcAndrew wonders: “Are they watching a cooking show where they make Jello?”
Comics I Don't Understand 
The 4×3 is months.
What about the 6×4?
The 6×4 is the “Garfield” calendar.
Mort Walker was hoping you’d be too distracted by the artwork to notice the calendar isn’t accurate.
The Wiggles are a group of Australian children’s musicians. Anyone who has had a toddler in the past 25 years has probably seen them.
It’s blatant discrimination based on class — the General gets to have fully naked girlies, while the enlisted have their girlies censored.
My screen is 2′ wide & I couldn’t count the columns on the General’s calendar. Gonna have to crank up the zoom.
I have an ad for Jello between the comic postings and the comment posts. I am presume that it is there by coincidence?
Or is it to remind of us of the old saying – “it must be jelly, cause jam don’t shake that way” – which thought came to mind with the photos of the lovely woman in her Christmas outfit. :-)

That’s not coincidence, Meryl; it’s a screenshot of an ad put in to illustrate “Jello Jigglers”.
I guess pinup calendars, whether painted by artists such as Vargas, or composed of photographs have gone the way of advertising matchbooks?
Thank you Powers!
Mort Walker describes syndicate censorship in “Backstage at the Strips”, pg. 48-49. In additional to more comprehensible bans on cleavage and phallic symbols there was a rule against navels, even when rendered as tiny dots. An editor stubbornly razored them out and Walker just as stubbornly kept putting them back, sometimes giving girls two navels. Said editor reportedly began collecting all navels cut from Beetle Bailey in a little box on his desk. Walker finally did a strip involving a shipment of navel oranges, with navels on the girls on the crate labels and on every individual orange. The syndicate gave up — on navels, anyway.
