Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #24 — page 36: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains advice text rather than cartoon content. The piece argues that happily married couples should ignore each other's pasts entirely—not inquire about previous relationships or confess past indiscretions unless they threaten the marriage's future. The advice reflects early-20th-century attitudes: women are portrayed as "naturally and generally better than men," yet advised to stay silent about their histories. The text warns against double standards in morality while simultaneously recommending strategic ignorance ("Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise"). This represents typical *Whiz Bang* content—satirical advice columns offering sardonic commentary on courtship, marriage, and gender relations through mock-earnest rhetoric that invites readers to recognize the absurdity or hypocrisy being described.
