Note that this cartoon was intended to "convince Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer that they can, and should, pay Uncle Sam this year with a grin", and because it was made after the U.S. entered World War II, it used Nazi images to explain that this new income tax would go towards buying munitions to be used against the Axis countries, and that made Donald's anger turn into happiness as he had "happy visions of Germans, Japs, and Italians being bombed by what his money bought". The cartoon ends with "Donald convinced that prompt income tax payment IS the finest service he can give his Uncle Sam"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good.
