NowPublic The Basics for Tokyo
Jul 18

After reading the entire comic, all I can say is "Wow".  It’s offensive, but remember, it was 1942. 

"US War Department comic strip included in the first edition of the "POCKET GUIDE TO CHINA", a 75-page booklet distributed to US soldiers (Army and Navy) during their stay in China during World War II."

How to Spot a Jap

After my trip, I love the Japanese.  They’re polite, very helpful, and are so stylish.  I’d really like to go back and live in Japan for a year.

Side notes:  Here’s a couple’s 3 week trip to JapanJapundit would have been a good blog to have read before my trip.

    I read this comic on a comic book board (don’t laugh!) a few weeks ago.

    It is so offensive . . . at the same time, I’m happy to know something like this would not be published today (at least to such a large audience).
