The main job of a cartoonist is to parody people. He exaggerates,
caricatures, or creates satirical statements about someone’s traits or
habits. In Richard Denison Taylor's work for Playboy, he specialized in
what we could view today as objectifying women as sex objects for men's
pleasure. That was essentially the point of Playboy, as with other
mid-century men's magazines. It was a different world back then. To
Taylor's credit, he can take a jab too. In "Walking the Plank," Taylor
flips the script. Enraged hot female pirates, brandishing swords and a
blunderbuss, force a bound male (Taylor) to face the choice between
taking a jab and taking a plunge. Self-deprecating humor is on full
display in this Richard Taylor "it's all just fun" cartoon, dated
roughly between 1955 and 1965. Signed lower right and unframed.
