In excellent condition, it will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- this is an actual, original piece of art drawn by hand by Sneyd. It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image. It is a one-of-a-kind original. Also initialed (signed) by Hefner! And please note, in addition to the original art, the buyer also receives the page (removed from the magazine... the full magazine is not included in with the listing) featuring the finished cartoon as well as a Xerox copy of the cover to the issue this cartoon appeared in (please note that the magazine itself is not included in the listing).

Artist Bio: Beginning his career in commercial illustration and then moving on to freelance work for various magazine and book publishers, Doug Sneyd also illustrated cartoons for Canada's largest circulation newspaper, the Toronto Star, (cartoons that were ultimately syndicated throughout North America). He is best known, however, for his decades-long association with Playboy. Sneyd began illustrating gag strips for the magazine in 1964, ultimately contributing over 500 cartoons in all and became a fan-favorite artist among Playboy readers.
