What you’re looking at
This page contains **humorous one-liners and brief jokes** rather than political cartoons. The content includes: - **"Pasture Pot Pourri"**: A collection of gags with risqué or cynical humor typical of 1920s magazines - **"A Cold One"**: Dark humor about death ("It's the coffin they carry you offin") - References to petty crime, romance, and workplace gossip - **"Gus's Favorite Song"**: A nonsense verse about an old mare on a whipple tree (a farming reference) - A closing anecdote about drunk sailors ("Pat and Mike") making an Irish-accented joke about Christ The humor is bawdy, irreverent, and working-class in tone—reflecting *Whiz Bang*'s appeal to soldiers and laborers rather than genteel audiences. No specific political figures or dated events are referenced on this page.
