Playboy #4
"White Rock Girl" is a striking, surreal tale from 1966, written, drawn, and inked by Howard Shoemaker, whose singular style brings a dreamlike unease to a simple roadside moment. In a single, unforgettable panel, a man signals a left turn in his Volkswagen—only to have his hand vanish as a lion’s head suddenly appears through the bars of a passing circus truck. The cover by Howard Shoemaker complements the story’s eerie, off-kilter tone.
