How are you just ignoring his WWII career as a propaganda artist? I linked you one of the tamer examples, but he was creating cartoons depicting both Japanese and Germans as the evil enemy.



Both the Germans and Japanese were categorically bad enemies we had the absolute right and duty to fight at all costs.
