Eldon Dedini
Eldon Dedini (June 29, 1921 – January 12, 2006) was an American cartoonist whose work has appeared in Esquire, The New Yorker, Playboy and elsewhere.
Fantagraphics Books published a collection of his work, An Orgy of Playboy's Dedini, ISBN 1-56097-727-2 in 2006. The book is bundled with a documentary "Dedini: A Life of Cartoons" by Anson Musselman. His work is raunchy and humorous, but never pornographic, and is liberally sprinkled with leering satyrs and wide-eyed, amply-endowed young nymphs.
