lived the Dick and Jane thing in the 40s and 50s. 1937-1938 rape of Nanking China, 80K + raped, 300K killed, not by atom bomb, just plain old bombs, guns and swords. innocence is always the first casualty, in any war, still there was lots of good and fun things to do as a child, from chasing butterflys to watching clouds go by. Still have some of my very old Dick and Jane school books, a bit faded, but your colors are very close.
thank you for your personal comments.this piece was part of a series of transfers and collages on real events in my life time that i want my grandaughter to use to to tell my great granchildren how i felt about these stories. A form of anthropology.
