Dedini and Interlandi originals

These wonderful PLAYBOY cartoon originals by Phil Interlandi and Eldon Dedini are from the Heritage Auction site. The only thing I've done with them is reduce them in size so they aren't such massive scans. I'n places I've inserted a caption when it wasn't provided on the artwork itself.

Both Interlandi and Dedini are now deceased: Interlandi in 2002, Dedini in 2006.

"Either we start pushing birth control or we're going to be up to our asses in little people."

"So many, and so little time."

"I Remember Softcore"

In this era of hardcore internet porn and anything goes, it's nostalgic to remember a day when sex in popular culture was softcore and teasing.

You'll be the Judge of that...

Ninety year old humor, including a spectacular full page cartoon by Raggedy Ann creator Johnny Gruelle, and a very early cartoon by Gardner Rea.

Many thanks again for his assistance to Dave Miller, for preparing the scans from this 1920 issue of JUDGE magazine. Couldn't do it without you, Dave!
