Pinups: Meet Doug Sneyd
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 9 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great pinup art.
Here's a gift that I've taken much too long to acknowledge... Last Summer, Archive supporter, Sean Worsham donated a great book of unpublished cartoons by Playboy cartoonist, Doug Sneyd. (Mr. Sneyd even autographed it for us!) It gives a fascinating glimpse at the thought process behind Sneyd's wonderful cartoons. Here are a few choice pages from the book...
I highly recommend this book. You can order an autographed copy for yourself at... www.DougSneyd.com.
I've spent the better part of this week scanning more mid 60s Playboys. Here's a gallery of Sneyd's work from that period...
As always, let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more about the great cartoonists of Playboy.

Sneyd certainly has a nice style. Referring to your earlier post about derivative facial expressions, there are no two expressions that are alike in these cartoons. My favorite is the milkman's face of muted glee at the prospect of a "tip." My one quibble are the way he draws breasts - I was never a fan of the ones that look like inflated balloons, but a lot of artists draw them that way, going back even to French Revolution artists like Louis-David and Gericault. Sorry, fellas, but they don't all look like that!
Wonderful artwork. Thanks very much for posting these.
Cool, my favorites are the gals in the sweaters who are saving up for Christmas.
JoJo- Congrats on the merit award!!!
I love this set of the brothel girls and their madame. And like the earlier comments note, he does amazing expressions.
These are wonderful!! I t would be great to see more Jack Cole and Eric Sokol cartoons.
Thanks for posting these. Such an amazing thing you guys are doing!!
