The characters were common at street theater performances and demonstrations against U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. General Hersheybar would appear in a comical military uniform complete with a plastic toy fighter-jet attached to his "officer's cap" and hand out fliers promoting his satirical diatribe. In addition he self-published several monographs and booklets.

That is a popular mistake, that is not General Hershey Bar that is General Wastemoreland aka Thomas Dunphy and his Parody to General William Westmoreland who goes down in History as the Man who lost Vietnam. The Man on the right is General Hershey Bar
You can find a youtube on Thomas Dunphy and links to the comic The peace nut by actually searching google
