Captain Billy's Whiz Bang, Vol. III, No. 33

# Captain Billy's Whiz Bang, May 1922

This May 1922 issue of Captain Billy's Whiz Bang (Vol. III, No. 33) is a humor magazine edited by "Captain Billy" (W.H. Fawcett) from Robbinsdale, Minnesota, priced at 25 cents. The issue opens with an advertorial for Breezy Point Lodge, a Minnesota resort offering fishing, hunting, and recreational facilities.

The magazine's interior features an editor's column from Captain Billy recounting his return from Cuba, updates on his farm and farmhand Pedro Jr., and appeals to readers to help locate his former hired man Gus, now in Los Angeles. The issue includes reader correspondence, notably a lengthy letter from New York humorously complaining about Prohibition and describing an employee inspired to poetry by reading the magazine, plus a poem titled "Hot Corn Kid." Additional content includes Gus's poem "The Effects of Pedro" about discovering a cow with a newborn calf, short humorous anecdotes about barbers and honeymoons, a mystery story opening ("Bang!"), and various brief jokes and witticisms typical of the period's pulp humor publications.
