# Heave Ho! How many times do I have to throw you outa here?

Black-and-white cartoon: a scowling U.S. Marine in a helmet carries a struggling enemy soldier toward the sea on a Solomon Islands beach, saying 'How many times do I have to throw you outa here?' The enemy figure is drawn as a snarling caricature with exaggerated teeth and cursing symbols, a name-calling image of the opponent as a troublesome pest.
