“Beanbag Chair”
"Beanbag Chair" is a striking, surreal short story from 1970’s Playboy, written and illustrated entirely by Alden Erikson. The tale unfolds in a quiet moment between a couple, where the mundane is interrupted by a floating nude woman in a conical hat and black cape—revealed to be the girl’s roommate—drifting across the ceiling. The cover by Alden Erikson captures the story’s dreamlike, slightly uncanny tone.
