Playboy #7
In "The Final Touch," a 1971 issue of Playboy, writer and artist Bob Schochet presents a surreal, satirical vignette set in a city park where two bewildered policemen confront an unexpected sight: a life-sized statue of a ragged hippie, labeled "The Statue of Liberty," giving a peace sign and cradling bongo drums. With deadpan humor and sharp visual detail, Schochet's interior art and cover by the same hand craft a quietly subversive moment of cultural commentary.
