What you’re looking at

This page contains several brief satirical items rather than a cartoon. The content includes: 1. **Moralizing passage** about women's redemption through marriage and motherhood—suggesting women with questionable pasts could be reformed through domestic life. 2. **"Hello! or Ohell!"**—A linguistic joke observing that "ohell" is essentially "hello" reversed, and that American greetings work better than reverse-English cusswords. 3. **"How About This?"**—A newspaper classified ad joke: "Two sisters want washing. Will go anywhere"—likely a double-entendre implying prostitution. 4. **Final quip** about a girl shaking the "shimmy" (a 1920s dance) so vigorously she's "shaken herself out of shape." The page reflects 1920s attitudes toward women, morality, dancing, and working-class humor typical of Whiz Bang's irreverent style.
