What you’re looking at

This page contains three humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"A Sophisticated Parrot"** — A comedic story about a lady who places her pet parrot in a henhouse as a "male companion." The parrot kills three hens, then demands the remaining chickens call him "sweet papa" or he'll kill them all. The joke plays on the parrot's aggressive territorial behavior and anthropomorphizes his demands for respect. 2. **"Lay of the Dental Chair"** — A brief poem lamenting dental visits, comparing lost teeth to a "string of pearls" being yanked out one by one. 3. **"Here's a Sun Dodger"** — A brief dialogue where someone claims arrest for "speedink" (speeding) on the sidewalk without a car—absurdist humor. The page exemplifies *Whiz Bang's* style of light, nonsensical comedy aimed at general audiences.
