You probably only read Playboy for the fiction. But I read it for the cartoons. Hefner chose the cartoons for each issue.

I think he also chose the other pictures that appeared in his magazine. And he developed the “Playboy Philosophy” to help him with that task.

But the world of internet porn and political correctness made things difficult for Playboy. An obit in The Atlantic argues that what Playboy offered was “sanitized – Hefner wanted the centerfolds to exude clean-cut charm rather than exotic allure.”

What it should have offered was more cartoons.

Hef was 91 when he died on Wednesday.

    I guess the secret to long life is regular sex with beautiful young women. Who would have thought.
