What you’re looking at

This is a **title/advertisement page** for *Whiz Bang*, an American satirical magazine. The page announces the publication's availability and subscription options rather than presenting editorial content or satire. The illustration shows a **cartoon cow** (the publication's apparent mascot), rendered in a simple, bold silhouette style typical of early 20th-century advertising graphics. The cow appears animated or exaggerated, consistent with humorous magazine branding of the era. The text emphasizes widespread distribution—hotels, newsstands, trains—reflecting the magazine's commercial ambitions. Pricing is given in two tiers: 25 cents at retail outlets versus 30 cents direct from the publisher, with annual subscriptions at $2.50. This page functioned as both promotion and subscription information for potential readers.
