Don't Make Us Laugh, NICA Gangster!
A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945, capturing the period of "struggle," features an illustration of an Indonesian soldier laughing and pointing a gun to a man wearing a NICA armband, who is on the ground. The poster has text that declares, “Don’t make us laugh, NICA-gangster! We are prepared!” emphasizing the readiness and resilience of the Indonesian people against the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration (NICA). This is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," which contains reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947.
