# More Production (Snowball over the Axis Leaders)

A giant snowball lettered 'MORE PRODUCTION' rolls down a slope toward three running or sprawled cartoon figures: one in a military tunic and round spectacles (catalogued as probably Tojo), one with a toothbrush moustache, and one stout figure face down. The Axis leaders are drawn as panicking caricatures, so the picture asserts the outcome that the slogan asks workers to produce.
