Grandpop, the 1940s U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Production will knock out the Axis") encouraging a healthy sleep schedule, and featuring Lawson Wood art of a variety of animals participating and enjoying a boxing match. Note that Lawson Wood created six of these World War II propaganda posters featuring human-like chimpanzees and pigs. Wood was a fascinating historical character! He was an illustrator who worked for English magazines in the early 1900s. He served in World War I, and afterwards returned to illustration, gaining great popularity with his comic drawings of prehistoric and Stone Age characters, and chimps, apes, and monkeys that would perform absurd versions of human activities. These characters were made into short cartoons, and were intended to be the basis of one of the films made by Ub Iwerks, but the outbreak of World War II caused that not to happen.
