And finally, we have the racial overtones. Given the style of art, it's safe to assume that the characters depicted are Asian- with the exception of the green-eyed woman with pale skin- obviously a Ginger-American. I'll draw your attention once again to the sun pictured on her yellow dress. The sun- the source of all light and... heat. Excessive heat, in the body, is known as a fever, and hers is bright yellow. Yellow fever, my dear boy, is common slang for a sexual preference for Asians.
Now then, the man, conversely, has yellow eyes and antennae (or "feelers"), indicating that he only "has eyes" for "yellows". But look closely at his expression- the cooly assessing eyes, the thin-lipped half-polite-smile-half-smirk. That's an expression that, to me, says "You'll do."
