Magazine to auction erotic cartoons
Some people read “PLAYBOY” for the cartoons.
Those people will get the chance to own some of those cartoons during an online and live auction Friday, Feb. 26.
More than 100 original cartoons will be auctioned at Heritage in Dallas as part of “Hugh Hefner’s Funnies: Over 55 Years of PLAYBOY Cartoons.”
The online auction will be at HA.com.
The collection includes pieces by Hefner and several Playboy artists, including Alberto Vargas, and original “Mad Magazine” editor Harvey Kurtzman.
Some feature nudity, and the cartoons won’t be cheap.
A piece by Hefner is expected to sell for about $1,500 while one from Kurtzman could sell for as much as $20,000.

Is the thong dead?
If Cosmo says it, it has to be true and in this case, thank goodness.
The magazine that brings the world headlines like “Hot, Sexy, Hair” and “99 Sex Moves,” declares the thong dead in its February edition.
Cosmopolitan - a publication clearly known for its hard-hitting, investigative journalism - says it conducted an “investigation” and uncovered that advancements in no panty line technology has sealed the thong’s faith.
Once considered one of the “50 Ways to Turn ON Your Man,” thongs have been eclipsed in popularity by more comfortable undies like the boy shorts, Cosmo reasons.
The fact that the one advantage the thong had over all other styles of underwear has now been completely eliminated puts a major, er, crack in the thong’s appeal, the article says
