What you’re looking at
This page contains five brief humorous anecdotes rather than cartoons: 1. **"At the Pearly Gates"**: A joke about an applicant denied heaven because they can only play saxophone poorly—St. Peter sends them to Hell instead. 2. **"Gus Says"**: A brief item about someone traveling to Hawaii to unload hay and see an "uncovered wagon" (likely a risqué reference). 3. **"Golden Rule Days"**: A classroom joke where a student defines "sympathy" as "blind man's bluff"—playing on words rather than understanding. 4. **"The Armpit Blues"**: A verse mocking a village artist's model, suggesting her blonde hair is artificially bleached. 5. **"Darn the Sun and Air"**: A flirtation interrupted by daylight—satirizing romantic inconvenience. The page exemplifies *Whiz Bang*'s irreverent, pun-heavy humor targeting everyday situations.
