About this audiobook
"Captain Billy's Whiz Bang" was an iconic magazine of wit and humor launched by W.H. Fawcett in 1919. Each 64-page issue was packed with jokes, quips, and humorous bits of writing. Each year it grew in popularity, and Fawcett’s success lead to the formation of the well-known Fawcett Publications, which issued Whiz Comics and introduced Captain Marvel. The magazine was immortalized in a line in the song “Trouble” from Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man.” This issue has articles such as, "Mirrors of Life and Love by Princess Bibesco," " Unrequited Love by Walter Scott," " Chinese Nightmare Cities by By Rev. 'Golightly" Morrill',"and many short quips, plus the usual departments are here such as, Drippings from the Fawcett, Smokehouse Poetry, and Pasture Pot Pourri - Summary by Larry Wilson
