This is a horizontally-oriented poster with a drawing of downtown San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, and Treasure Island in black. Cut-out photographic images of fighter jets are flying over the city and dropping bombs, which appear to be drawn. There are several magenta-colored explosions below the planes as well. Large, Magenta text at the upper right edge reads "Baghdad By The Bay". A diagonal magenta rectangle in the lower left corner contains white text reading "Bombs Fall On U.S. Cities! / War Support Plunges In Polls! / Details Missing From Nightly News at 7 and 11!". Small, black text in the lower right corner reads "Coming soon to A / Home Front Near You!".
