Alien Propaganda Poster #1 for the Space Odditorium by Dave Law

original propaganda poster from circa 1942-1943

Record 005 of The Space Odditorium calls for some interesting background props. Specifically Chris wanted some propaganda posters reimagined with aliens, or at least what we thought aliens look like. My journey into references for this panel lead me down some interesting paths. Specifically the anti-Japanese posters of WWI. The ridiculousness of them and their portrayal of our fellow human beings is off the charts, almost humorous they're so sensational. Yet sadly at the time they were effective at spreading fear and hate. I hope some day we'll look back on everything that is going on today, and laugh at just another temporary low in human awareness.
