Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #45 — page 31: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains three humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Gus Should Travel in England"** — A joke about a hired man named Gus who mistakes large furniture for flower vases, poking fun at working-class ignorance of refined décor. 2. **"Night-Shirt Golf Lyric"** — A comedic poem about a wife (named Keats) complaining her husband Ted takes their bedsheets to play golf, followed by a crude anecdote about physical intimacy ending in a slap. 3. **"Some of Bill Wiley's Doings"** — A brief verse celebrating a pedigreed bull, plus a definition of diplomacy as deceptive persuasion. The humor is typical of 1920s-era satirical magazines: crude, class-conscious, and focused on domestic situations and working-class mishaps.
