In January of the year after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Taiwan Nichinichi Shinpo produced a special comic edition to celebrate the new year. In it, Chiang Kai-shek, the highest leader in the China Theater, was depicted as a painfully skinny fox, with a fat old tiger standing behind him.
七七事變發生的翌年元旦，「台灣日日新報」出版賀年漫畫專刊，其中「中國戰區最高領袖」蔣委員長被畫成瘦巴巴的，成了一隻狐狸形象，靠著後頭的胖老虎，寓意「狐假虎威」。
