“He says he’ll be damned if he’ll ever climb up again.”
Campus humor, circa 1938. Somehow, this cartoon seems timeless! Who HASN’T complained about climbing Bascom Hill at some point in their time on campus! 
Known fondly as “the Octy,” The Wisconsin Octopus was the UW campus humor magazine published from the early to mid-20th century and included cartoons, poetry, essays, satirical writings, jokes and other works that poked fun of all aspects of campus life.
