Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang is the first magazine to have a “city” named
after it.
The thriving little oil town of Oklahoma has been christened Whiz Bang
City. The picture shown on this page is by courtesy of Vince Dillon,
photographer of Fairfax, Okla. Upon close examination, “kind readers”
note that all of the buildings are new and that a truck standing in
front of the garage bears the sign Nitroglycerine. However, there is no
connection between nitroglycerine and the Whiz Bang. It is true that we
have an explosion, but ours is harmless, and used to blow out the spleen
of the American human instead of Mother Earth.
Well, anyway, folk, here’s wishing many happy days to Whiz Bang City and
its live citizens.
_Our Winter Annual_
In addition to republication of gems of earlier issues of Captain Billy’s
Whiz Bang, the first complete Winter Annual of this great family journal
contains a large variety of brand new jokes, jests, jingles, pot pourri
stories and smokehouse poetry. This book, Pedigreed Follies of 1921-22,
contains four times as much reading matter as the regular issue of the
Whiz Bang and sells for one dollar per copy. It is a book which will
be cherished by the readers for years to come, and holds the greatest
collection of red-blooded poetry yet put in print. Included in the list
are:
Johnnie and Frankie, The Face on the Barroom Floor, The
Shooting of Dan McGrew, The Harpy, Lasca (in full), The Girl
in the Blue Velvet Band, Langdon Smith’s “Evolution,” Advice
to Men, Advice to Women, Our Own Fairy Queen, Stunning Percy
LaDue, Parody on Kipling’s Ladies, Toledo Slim.
