This is a **back-cover advertisement**, not a cartoon page. It promotes *Pedigreed Follies of 1921-22*, a compilation annual from *Captain Billy's Whiz Bang*, a satirical humor magazine published from Robbinsdale, Minnesota. The ad emphasizes the book's content—256 pages collecting "gems" from 25 earlier magazine issues, featuring "stories, toasts, poems, drippings and pot pourri" (miscellaneous humor). The urgent language ("Only a Few Left") creates artificial scarcity to drive sales. The coupon allows mail-order purchase for $1.00 via dollar bill, check, money order, or stamps—reflecting pre-digital commerce when direct-mail ordering was standard. This publication format was typical for humor magazines of the 1920s, which compiled previous issues into collectible annuals for the holiday gift market.
