Title

Bugs Bunny Nips The Nips, 1944

Description

Nip and Jap rose in popularity to the point of ubiquity and desensitization, as evidenced in this Merrie Melodies cartoon produced by Warner Bros. In this title card, Bugs Bunny is painting the Rising Sun Flag, which was adopted by the Imperial Japanese army and is still seen as an offensive, imperialist symbol in China and South Korea.
