As long as cartoons have existed or perhaps even before them, there were undoubtedly what we would nowadays call “dirty cartoons”. Early man created artistic cave paintings and if we looked hard enough, might we also find “dirty” cave paintings in a heretofore undiscovered crevice or cavern? Perhaps in France, hmm? The Tijuana Bibles, underground comics, Playboy, Hustler and so on were examples of an art form that eventually found a home in the public consciousness and a marketplace. This book brings the cartoon art of Dan Collins for Larry Flynt’s publications together for the first time in “print” with over 180 examples of perhaps the last great “dirty” cartoonist mankind will ever know.
