- Description
Shows four frames illustrating season's greetings from Japan. The first frame shows a whaling ship painted with the words 'Scientific Research' and painted with the words 'slay rides'. Play on 'slay' and 'sleigh' and refers to Japan's continuing to kill whales ostensibly for 'research' purposes. The second frame shows a fisherman about to sit off a harpoon described as 'missile tow' - a play on the word 'mistletoe'; the third frame shows an official counting 'slockings' which are actually boxes of whalemeat; and the last shows a sounding whale cursing 'Jesus' the 'saviour' because the Japanese will not leave them alone.
