Playboy September 2009 Issue: Doug's Cartoon and Preliminaries

caption:  "If you don't think I'm right for this job, feel free to try me in any position you'd like."


The cartoon (p. 81) was also reproduced on p. 140 in The Art of Doug Sneyd, published by Dark Horse Books; the 248-page hardcover book features 270 of Doug's 500-plus Playboy cartoons.

It is also available in a softcover edition through:


approved gag rough


early pencil rough - done on heavy tracing vellum


For the color rough, Doug typically xeroxes the final pencil rough and then tests color choices -

(6 x 7 1/2 on 8 1/2 x 11 Arches of France cold press watercolor paper using Dr. Ph. Martin's aniline dyes))


additional color testing
