Hi K,
Some links that might help with your class - with the warning it's propaganda from WWII -
Wally Lepp's PROPAGANDER sites - http://propagander.tripod.com/index.html
and from the other side -
Randall Bytwerk's German Propaganda Archive - http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/

kusunoki:
Great stuff, Yoc. Thanks for the links.

It's also interesting to note that this page is from a comic published only about 4 months after Pearl Harbor and represented wishful thinking not actual fact. Emotions in America were pretty high in early 1942.

Yes having a couple of smiling hero-kids holding news paper celebrating civilian casualties in a bombing run is pretty damn shocking (I wonder if Wertham read this issue too?).
But what gets me is that they misspelled "Tokyo".

Actually Tokio was an alternate spelling for Tokyo then. It's pretty much fallen into disuse now. See for example:
