What you’re looking at

This page contains three humorous pieces rather than cartoons: **"Puff Me Up, Kid"** - A sentimental poem about an adoring young daughter, written in vernacular style. The speaker boasts of his masculine appeal while acknowledging the girl's affection. **"Hard Boiled Muggsy"** - A brief anecdote about a street-tough kid's crude retelling of the Adam and Eve story, using slang terms ("broad," "'snitched'," "'peached'") to describe biblical events. The humor derives from lowbrow language applied to religious narrative. **"Smackum Smackaday"** - A playful poem using alliteration and repetition ("Someday," "Somebody," "Somewhere") to express vague romantic intentions toward an unnamed woman. All three pieces employ working-class vernacular and casual irreverence typical of Whiz Bang's satirical tone.
