The present work is a Men's Magazine testosterone-charged gag cartoon
showing twirling nude pole dancers. Surprisingly, they are seen turning
up the heat at the Fire Station's fireman's pole that's across the
street from their Nude Cabaret. In response to their erotic pole
performance, the Firemen are depicted burning with desire.
Caption

Marty was a highly-regarded and well-liked creator of cartoons. He was a long standing contributor to Playboy and Cosmopolitan.

He worked extensively in animation…for a long time, at UPA on shorts
and on Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, for which he was one of the main
storyboard artists. He later contributed to a number of Hanna-Barbera
shows including Hong Kong Phooey, Mumbly and especially Wait 'Til Your
Father Gets Home, which was particularly designed in the Murphy style.

The last few decades, he was one of the privileged few gag
cartoonists in the world to be published in Playboy. He was in almost
every issue, often with the funniest gag. He stated "I have to be
funnier than anyone else to stay in Playboy. I can't draw sexy women."

Marty was a master cartoonist who contributed regularly to Playboy
and is probably best known for that work. But to animation fans his
credentials are equally impressive.
