What you’re looking at

This page contains humor pieces rather than political cartoons. The main content includes: **"And Why Not Papa?"** - A father-son dialogue about a "wild" girl, followed by a ribald poem from a woman's perspective celebrating men who are rough, don't care, and treat her roughly. The humor plays on the contrast between the father's moral concerns and the daughter's enjoyment of aggressive male behavior. **"He Found Out"** - A brief anecdote about an old man ("Hood") testing whether alcohol relieves ailments. The piece includes references to Texas longhorns and "stall-fed heifers," likely sexual innuendo about different types of women. **General tone:** Whiz Bang was known for bawdy, sexually suggestive humor targeting working-class audiences. These pieces reflect 1920s-era attitudes about gender relations and courtship, using crude double entendres typical of the magazine's style.
