Playboy #1
"His Own Best Friend" is a striking 1968 tale from Playboy #1, written, drawn, and inked by George Dole in a single, distinctive hand. The story unfolds with a quiet moment of intimacy and tension as a woman, just stepping into a top, answers the door through a Dutch door’s upper half—her pose and the frame’s split reveal creating an immediate, subtle narrative pull. The cover by George Dole complements the issue’s mood with a bold, stylized image that captures the same blend of vulnerability and allure.

A woman is sitting nude in a chair. She just puts on a top to answer the door, which provides enough cover because she only opens the top half of a Dutch door.
