Thrilling Comics No 32, 1942
Description
In this comic, almost every mention of a Japanese patrol officer is referred to as Jap, desensitizing the reader to the slur. In this page, an American agent knocks out Japanese officers off the boat, claiming "Hope the sharks can stomach you Japs! I can't!" The agent then proceeds to punch another officer shouting "Take a nap, Jap!"
