Comments: Is rhyming really a good idea for military cartoons? Zipper lip is unpleasant. Outline brain looks good. Horse looks Seuss-y. In the shot of 5 spies, I'm not sure if each is supposed to be a different nationality or not; I see arguments for a German and an Italian, but everyone else may be Japanese. It might make more sense to make them look like a generic American (like the girl). Seuss moose. Chick with winged hat. Nazi boobs. They get to say hell. Which was a big deal then (apparently). Horse's ass song and image. The magazines include "Sex" and "Snatch". Powerhouse.
