Its an advertisement for LAXATIVES. Baron Tanaka on panel is drawn as if he is extremely constipated that it seems as if he has not relieved himself in relative comfort for several weeks..that is why Baron Tanaka has a very, very bad disposition.
How bad is Baron Tanaka’s disposition? His disposition is so bad that a well used baby diaper looks more friendly looking than him!
oh HAI! this is gonna be awesome!!! [btw "hai" is japanese for "yes"]
Love the specs, tanaka-dono. ["dono" is an honorific like Lord or Sir]
kinda hoping one of those japanese turn out to be the ancestor of surf-manga boy.
Say, I saw that movie when I was a kid…ain’t that the film where this flat-top from the present get sent to the past or something??? Anyway, it involved a time paradox or something. Gonna look up that movie at youtube.
Personal thoughts of the Japanese sailors standing in attention in honor of Baron Tanaka:
1st sailor: “I hope this honor guard duty ends soon. Saito is planning to play “Gone with the wind” tonight in the movie theater. I for one don’t want to miss seeing that movie inspection or no inspection!”
2nd sailor: “Buddha! my jock strap is itching like hell! The moment this Tanaka dude turns his back I gonna scratch my jock till it turns white! Just a few more minutes..just a few more minutes…”
3rd sailor: “This Tanaka dude sure looks like a sour puss..bet he hasn’t gotten laid for the past several years..maybe even the past few decades…with that ugly face, even the prostitute back home must surely charge his diviness triple the usual rate!”
4th sailor: “The emperor’s own representative! Glory! I wonder if the Baron gives autographs?!?”
5th sailor: “Why did the Baron gave me a bad look? Did I do anything wrong? Is my uniform dirty? Do I smell bad? Why wouldn’t he tell me whats wrong with me!?! Does this mean I have to commit seppuku after this inspection? Yes, that must be the correct course of action. I must commit ritual seppuku to atone my sins against the emperor’s divine representative. But BUDDHA! I don’t want to die a virgin! Why isn’t there a defenseless native girl around whom you can rape when you need one! I must be cursed to die a virgin! AAAAHHHH!”
Yeah. But images of tentacles were eventually made to ease the pain in the poor hearts of Japan’s menfolk. That, and the Tora 3. (Check out first image on google and you will understand.)
Say, Mr. Robert, I went to google images and saw the picture of an “arcade type game?” named Tora 3…WTF are those things inside? My imagination told me the answer, but really…are those what I think they are? Man, that game is sick and up the weird level indicator number 8 for me, and I have seen weird before and even dealt with it on a daily basis back in the 1990s…So are those “items” what I think they are?!?!
Personal thoughts of Tanaka: dammit – this imperial inspection is making me miss Sailor Moon!* great merciful buddha – i hope i didn’t just say that aloud! they are all staring at me… did i? maybe i did… oh, hell, i’m gonna have to commit sepukku too!!!
… but not until i watch my Sailor Moon, got that shit on tivo.**
*[ Stampy, you gave me this idea and I had to go with it]
**[not sure if i spelled that right]
OOHHH!!!.. The lone surviving ship (or naval convoy) of the WWII Japanese Navy, lost at sea, survives by continuing to be ready to fight WWII. A beautiful flipside of the cargo cult set up the island natives introduced at the begining.
OK, time travel for sure.
Either that or alternate dimension. Or bad airline food, don’t forget that option
How can I?
*erp*
I had the Enchilada Blue Plate Special!
Well, they gave me cardboard in a box.
Topped it with some pizza sauce.
Sure there was some melted cheese…
But, can I get a refund please?
Are you telling me there was any doubt that this whole thing wasn’t a case of time travel?
This could just be a flash-back.
He needs show why a functional-fueled Japanese bomber was left on the island for them to fly away in.
Or, why a fully-functional Japanese aircraft carrier sat there waiting for 70 years, and now takes them home.

Oooh! I am soooo luvvin’ this development!

Coming to a theater near you]
Yeah–I haven’t seen a face that pruny since the last time I looked in a mirror!

Nerds FOREVER!
Amen to that!
And now the USS Nimitz shows up!

Rent it, awesome film.

Yep–I first saw it during it’s initial theater-release days
See, I just had to wait for someone old enough to remember that movie to show up. it was pretty much a 90 minute commercial for the US Navy.
Hey–I resemble that remark!

Ahh, Yes–

LOL!
Wish we did have a panel showing Baron Tanaka watching Sailor Moon…that would be very very funny!
ADMIN! poster of tanaka watching sailor moon! just one of those little 81/2 by 11 deals – would totally sell!!!
Oh, I would sure waste good money on that!!!
OOHHH!!!.. The lone surviving ship (or naval convoy) of the WWII Japanese Navy, lost at sea, survives by continuing to be ready to fight WWII. A beautiful flipside of the cargo cult set up the island natives introduced at the begining.
SWEET!!
