What you’re looking at

This page contains two poems rather than cartoons or satirical illustrations. **"In Flanders Fields"** is Lt. Col. John McCrae's famous WWI poem, republished here with biographical context noting McCrae's death from pneumonia in France in January 1918. The introductory text indicates this poem will appear alongside other war-related works in an upcoming issue. **"Fading Blossoms"** is a brief, separate poem about a rose and a maid. The page functions as literary content rather than visual satire. The *Whiz Bang* magazine appears to be featuring serious war poetry honoring fallen soldiers, likely capitalizing on post-WWI interest in soldier-authored literature. There is no cartoon or satirical commentary visible on this particular page.
