Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #21 — page 29: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains advice-column humor rather than political cartoons. Three humorous letters appear: 1. **"Ham Spear"** describes falling asleep at Hot Springs, Wisconsin, and dreaming of a flirtatious scene before being awakened by "Friend Mac." Uncle Billy's response jokes about pouring hot water on Mac so he dreams of "entering the gates of hell"—crude retaliatory humor. 2. **"Kennett B. Goode"** complains about his heavy girlfriend sitting on his lap. The response suggests placing an ironing board over chair arms to support her weight indefinitely—slapstick humor mocking both the man's predicament and the woman's size. 3. **"School Johnnie"** asks for a rare, nearly extinct bird's name. The answer is "Old Crow"—a pun, likely referencing the whiskey brand. The humor is crude, weight-based mockery typical of 1920s entertainment.
