Tokyo Woes is a 1945 Mr. Hook short directed by Robert Clampett.
Plot[]
"Tokyo Rose" broadcasts a message encouraging servicemen not to bother with war bonds. The Sad Sack, a fake U.S. POW with a voice resembling Porky Pig, explains that life is so wonderful in Japan that he intends to move there permanently with his family.
To the proposition "What good will bonds do?" Mr. Hook responds with a missile shell containing a reply from a "talking bond," along with a number of explosive devices. Post-war, another shell lands on Hook, this time containing what is known as the "talking bond" giving all the benefits to his investments.

- The Sad Sack says he's "Drinking rum and Coca-Cola." This is a reference to the song "Working for the Yankee Dollar," which was introduced by the Andrews Sisters.
