What you’re looking at

This page contains three humorous poems rather than political cartoons. **"Gal O' Mine"** is a light romantic comedy about a man who kissed a girl, got drunk ("K.O.'d"), and faced teasing from friends. The humor relies on wordplay and the mild scandal of casual drinking and romance. **"Beware, Oil Men!"** by Casper Y. Homing appears to reference oil field workers, with the speaker joking about avoiding the drilling areas—likely satirizing workplace hazards or the oil industry boom of that era. **"Hibrow Poetry"** is nonsensical verse deliberately using absurd rhymes and descriptions (a petticoat being "georgette blue," a dress being "cheese cloth red") to mock pretentious or avant-garde poetry. These are satirical verses typical of *Whiz Bang*'s irreverent humor, targeting social conventions and artistic pretension rather than specific political figures.
