A well-dressed man is struck by a hammer bearing the Indonesian flag, beside the line "La busett...enakk banget ja!" (Damn, I'm really enjoying this!), with the word "Daulat" (sovereignty) seemingly added later in red. The figure stands for both Dutch and Indonesian profiteers exploiting the war, and the reply "Nah ini lu rasain djuga ja" (Well, now you'll face the consequences) signals that fighters would punish anyone enriching themselves at the people's expense. He smokes a pair of pliers, tang or catut, a play on the term for someone trading on the wartime black market.
