1) Paperback Book Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings by Last Gasp. Very mild compared to todays porn. Mostly female nudes done tastefully and very few males. I saw more naked people at Seattle´s Fremont Parade than I saw in this book. It was a great book for learning about clean cartoonists.¤

2) Paperback Book Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings by Last Gasp. This book is just what the title offers; a very nice collection of early 1900´s era dirty cartoons from some of the worlds most famous cartoonists including surprises from creators like Charles Schulz (creator of Peanuts) and Jack Kirby (creator of the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor, etc.). As a self-proclaimed pervert I thoroughly enjoyed the drawings in this book, my only complaint, and thus the 4 out of 5 stars, is that each cartoonist features only a page at most of their work. While this allows the book to collect a prolific number of creators, I would have liked to see a full strip or story; I guess I´m just a sucker for a plot.¤

3) Paperback Book Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings by Last Gasp. A book of cartoonists offbeat drawings-including risque, and glamour drawings by such artists as milton caniff(terry and the pirates), chuck jones(bugs bunny),ham fisher(joe palooka) and al capp(li´l abner among others. A good book if you are interested in cartoons or comic book art.¤

4) Paperback Book Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings by Last Gasp. I´d been waiting for this book for a long time, reading about it on the web site, and anticipating it anxiously. I wasn´t disappointed.

It´s a tricky topic and I can see how it could easily have been mishandled. Make it too dirty and people are offended. Make it too clean and they´re disappointed. I think Craig has achieve the perfect balance of showing the work of familiar cartoonists whom we know from the funny pages and the comic books, and giving us just a peek at what they draw for themselves in their private moments.

Art schools are full of nude models in life drawing classes, so it should come as no surprise that most artists have drawn an unclad female at one time or another. The fun is in seeing drawings like this from the pen of well-known cartoonists who specialize in family-friendly material. It´s a novelty that in no way detracts from their vast body of work but shows them as rather human.

I also have to mention the beautiful production. You don´t usually find such high-quality paper and printing in a book at this price point. The cover alone is impressive, gorgeously printed with embossing and spot varnish. A real art book kind of treatment, nicely designed and executed.

I´m looking forward to the next volume!

5) Paperback Book Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings by Last Gasp. The classic American comic strip is known for being wholesome family entertainment, accesible to everyone. But these artists, including Sidd (B.C.) Hoff and Mort (Beetle Bailey) Walker, also had a mischievous side they only shared with peers and friends. Now, in Clean Cartoonists´ Dirty Drawings, the general public can see the work of these American masters in their moments of blue humor.¤
