Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #20 — page 41: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains no cartoon or satirical content. It's primarily promotional material and a poem. The top section advertises an upcoming issue of Whiz Bang magazine (October 1921-22), promoting its mix of jokes, stories, poetry, and advice columns. Below that is a poem titled "Or Ever the Knightly Years Were Gone" by William Ernest Henley. The poem appears to be serious romantic/melancholic verse about a past relationship set in ancient Babylon, dwelling on themes of lost love, pride, and longing. It's unclear why this particular poem was selected for this magazine page, though Henley was a recognized poet. This appears to be filler content rather than satirical material characteristic of Whiz Bang's typical editorial approach.
