Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #3 — page 60: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains two brief humor pieces rather than cartoons. The main article is a personal anecdote by the narrator about being charged with drunkenness during military service. A colonel gives him a choice between court martial or three months confined to camp. The narrator cheerfully accepts confinement, viewing the camp as pleasant with its YMCA, barber shop, and other amenities. He jokes that he "beat the game" when the war ended after only six weeks of service. The second item, titled "Same Old Thing," is a Harvard Lampoon joke comparing the ancient Greek lyre to the modern mouth organ—suggesting human behavior remains unchanged across centuries. Both pieces employ self-deprecating humor typical of *Whiz Bang*, a magazine known for irreverent jokes about military life and social conventions.
