Synopsis

For over 45 years, Eldon Dedini has been one of Playboy's most recognisable full-page gag cartoonists. With a masterful watercolour technique that burlesques a broad range of subjects - from East and West Coast urban and suburban adult-hipster to classical Japanese erotic prints - Dedini's most personal cartoons rely on mythology and legend, evoking a bucolic sexually liberated paradise that leaves its readers lingering over the imagery long after the gags register.

With a masterful watercolour technique that burlesques a broad range of subjects - from East and West Coast urban and suburban adult-hipster to classical Japanese erotic prints - Dedini's most personal cartoons rely on mythology and legend, evoking a bucolic sexually liberated paradise that leaves its readers lingering over the imagery long after the gags register.
