Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #45 — page 19: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains three separate pieces of humorous content rather than a unified cartoon: 1. **"A Bite In Time"** — A brief poem about a midnight porch robbery thwarted by an old man and a bull-dog, followed by philosophical commentary on how even criminals have hierarchies of shame. 2. **"My Broncosaurus"** — A nostalgic poem claiming the author once owned a dinosaur on "Whiz Bang Farm" ten million years ago, contrasted humorously with a modern bronco horse that bucked him painfully. 3. **A brief joke** about profiteering in Coronado by locking up men during the day and renting them out evenings. 4. **A theater anecdote** about a monologist so excited by WWI battle news that he spread rumors back to Captain Billy. The page emphasizes rustic humor and wartime references typical of 1910s-1920s American satire magazines.
