Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Butter, a cut of meat, a can of milk, and a piece of cheese fall from the sky, presumably dropped from an airplane. They are suspended from parachutes which report that these items will be less-strictly rationed from now on. A woman and two men standing on the ground hold out their arms and look excited about the changes. They represent housewives, hotels, restaurants, retailers, and others responsible for buying food.
