Might I suggest picking up the book "Dr Seuss Goes to War?"
It is a book filled with what youre asking for. The entire thing is just the cartoons and the story of Seuss-going into his views and the implications of the cartoons.
That way you'll learn a bit, and you get to read Dr. Seuss!

This is from the New Yorker, in 1941:

There are several things here:
On is the obviously racist depiction of the Japanese, which was common among the propaganda of the period.
The other is the Swastika on their robes, which indicates that the Japanese were pawns of Nazi Germany.
Finally the line "We are Gentlemen of Japan" comes from the Gilbert and Sullivan musical The Mikado.

Here is a webpage that has a short list of cartoons from that era and a little bit of description so you can understand them better.
