stiwahoo is right. This IS the Oct. 6 strip (just check the date). According to the paperback collection “What Do We Have for the Witnesses, Johnnie?” in which the strips present are reprinted chronologically, and in which both the Oct. 15 and Oct. 17 strips are present, the strip between these two features the football huddle with B.D. and Zonker.
