Image of a smiling boss holding a rat by a string through its nose, as it licks his boot. Reads: The Scab: After god had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful stuff left with which he made a scab. A scab is a 2-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared to a scab. For betraying his master he had the character to hang himself. the scab hasn't. There's nothing lower than a scab. --Jack London

Portrait of Voltaire, with the following quote: It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
