An Orgy of Playboy's Eldon Dedini

For over half a century, Eldon Dedini crafted a singular, sophisticated brand of humor for Playboy—a world of buxom, Rubenesque women, cavorting satyrs, and slyly philosophical one-liners. This 2006 collection from Fantagraphics gathers the finest of his lush, single-panel cartoons, celebrating the artist whose deft watercolors and gentle, knowing wit made him a beloved mainstay of the magazine's golden age. It's an essential tribute to a master of the form, whose work remains as charmingly mischievous as the day it was drawn.
