"Loose Tits Sink Ships" — Framed WWII Parody Propaganda Poster, © 1944 Paul Wolfe (11x15)
A framed original WWII-era parody propaganda poster — "Loose Tits Sink Ships" — copyright 1944 Paul Wolfe. The illustration depicts a pin-up style woman and a leering soldier in front of an industrial skyline, with a vignette of a sinking ship struck by a torpedo below. The design directly parodies the wartime security slogan "Loose Lips Sink Ships," one of the most iconic propaganda campaigns in American history. Professionally framed in black with glass, 11x15 inches. Ready to hang.
Wartime parody ephemera of this era is exceptionally rare in original printed form. Paul Wolfe's 1944 copyright places this squarely in the wartime period, making it a genuine artifact rather than a later reproduction. The piece sits at the intersection of pin-up art, propaganda history, and American wartime humor — a document of how soldiers and civilians processed the gravity of the war through irreverence.
A genuinely rare piece of 1940s American ephemera. One available.
