Color poster issued in 1942 taken from a cartoon story by American illustrator and cartoonist, Eric Ericson. Titled, "The Sound That Kills: Don't Murder Men with Idle Words," this five panel cartoon depicts how a person's innocent remarks can travel from a local diner or bus, streetcar, or train to an enemy submarine and bring about the death of the ship's crew and the destruction of its cargo.
