Playboy #11
"Inventing the Wheel" is a surreal, offbeat tale from 1969, written and illustrated by B. Kliban, whose distinctive style brings a wry, absurdist humor to this peculiar scene: a lone man perched atop a desert statue of a woman, legs akimbo, peering down between her spread limbs. The cover by B. Kliban complements the story’s oddball tone, capturing the same curious, deadpan moment with the same unmistakable hand.
