Image of what appears to be a man at a counter with a sign stating
"RESEARCH
CHEMISTRY
DEPT"
and chemistry equipment appears all over the counter with one container labeled "SALVE".

The man is interacting with a woman labeled "THE WORLD" on her apron strings tied at her back.

The woman is telling the man "YOU'D BETTER MAKE UP QUITE A BATCH OF THAT "TENDERIZING' FORMULA WE USE ON TOUGH MEAT. I THINK I'M GOING TO NEED IT!" while pointing at soldiers holding a general and another group of soldiers at bayonet point.

There is a parchment atop the group of soldiers that states, "A WHOLE GENERATION OF GERMANS REARED ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF NAZI-ISM AND MASS MURDER."
