What you’re looking at

This page combines a cartoon and advertisement from *Whiz Bang* magazine (April 1, 1924). **The Cartoon**: The header illustration shows a woman dripping water onto a small dog. It's a crude visual gag—likely a pun on "faucet" sounds or bathroom humor typical of this era's satirical magazine style. **The Text**: The main article discusses meeting John Aasen, a 8'9" tall actor who appeared in Harold Lloyd's film "Why Worry?" The writer notes Aasen was "Gus's predecessor on Whiz Bang farm"—likely referring to another figure associated with the magazine's fictional farm setting. The piece humorously emphasizes Aasen's remarkable height and mentions the surprisingly firm handshake from this "mountainous man." It's primarily a celebrity anecdote promoting both Aasen and *Captain Billy's* magazine.
