    53 years ago:
    Couldn’t quickly tell how to do alt text from my phone app but it’s an old newspaper comic called Pogo, in which two anthropomorphic animals are speaking while traversing a bog.
    First panel:
    Porky Pine (a porcupine): Ah Pogo, the beauty of the forest primeval gets me in the heart.
    Pogo (a possum): It gets me in the feet, Porkypine.
    Second panel, characters sitting, looking out over a part of the bog used as a dump, a visually unparseable sprawl of assorted rubbish:
    Porky: It is hard walkin’ on this stuff.
    Pogo: Yep, son, we have met the enemy and he is us.
