Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #29 — page 56: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains four brief satirical jokes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"How to Get the Dough"**: Mocks a movie ticket seller's con—deliberately miscounting change to keep the overage. 2. **"Wet Times Ahead"**: A sinking ship joke where a passenger claims to be collecting money for "widows and orphans" while the captain urges evacuation—dark humor about self-interest during disaster. 3. **"He'd Tested Her"**: A quick quip about a fast typist being someone's only complaint—likely a marriage joke. 4. **Marriage commentary**: A cynical observation comparing marriage maintenance costs unfavorably to dairy expenses. The humor is broadly cynical and anti-establishment, targeting con artists, greed, and marital discord—typical of *Whiz Bang's* irreverent, working-class comic style popular in the 1920s-30s.
