I was sad to hear of Playboy cartoonist Eldon Dedini’s recent passing. That happened right after Fantagraphic’s announcement that they’re doing a coffee table book on him, too. Dedini is ofen identified as a Playboy cartoonist but he also did cartoons for The New Yorker, Esquire, Look and illustrated books like Max Shulman’s Rally Round the Flag, Boys! And, Dedini did some great cartoons related to “The Unholy Marriage of Art and Comics”. To see some of those click on the Charlie Brown below to start the show!
