With a masterful watercolor technique that burlesques a broad range of subjects―from East and West Coast urban and suburban adult-hipster to classical Japanese erotic prints―Dedini's most personal cartoons rely on mythology and legend, evoking a bucolic sexually liberated paradise that leaves its reader lingering over the imagery long after the gag registers. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; color: #424242}

Veteran artist Doug Sneyd presents a collection of unpublished cartoon concepts created throughout his career with Playboy magazine. This novelty book is packed from end to end with one-liners and pretty girls--funny, charming, and risqué jokes, each one full of all the life and expression that only a master artist can impart with a few strokes of the pen and brush! For over fifty years Doug Sneyd has been a regular contributor to Playboy, and for every cartoon published in the magazine, he created several more illustrated concepts with gag lines written by himself or by his own stable of witty writers. Collected here are over 250 of the very finest, funniest, and most clever previously unpublished gags, chosen from thousands submitted to Playboy since the early 1960s.

In 1976, a fledgling magazine held forth the the idea that comics could be art. In 2016, comics intended for an adult readership are reviewed favorably in the New York Times, enjoy panels devoted to them at Book Expo America, and sell in bookstores comparable to prose efforts of similar weight and intent. We Told You So: Comics as Art is an oral history about Fantagraphics Books’ key role in helping build and shape an art movement around a discredited, ignored and fading expression of Americana. It includes appearances by Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Harlan Ellison, Stan Lee, Daniel Clowes, Frank Miller, and more.
