Doug's Website: Redesigned - Up and Running Now
Doug's website - dougsneyd.com - has been redesigned so check it out now for new available Playboy cartoon originals as well as links to both this blog and the Doug Sneyd Premium Gallery at:
In addition, there are links for purchasing The Art of Doug Sneyd and Secret Sneyd: The Unpublished Cartoons of Doug Sneyd; both hardcover books were published by Dark Horse Books, the third-largest comics publisher in the U.S.
Doug will also personalize copies of Unpublished Sneyd with a black and white profile sketch (on the Introduction page) of a classic Sneyd girl-next-door; see a sample sketch on the website link to Books.
We're very pleased with the website redesign; thank you, Chris!!!

Playboy August 1996 Issue: Doug's Cartoon, Final Pencil Rough
caption: "I don't date athletes. They're only interested in beating their best time."
Although many artists work with graphics programs, all of Doug's full-page color cartoons, published in Playboy since the early 1960s, were done by hand, including loose-style gag roughs sent to Hef for cartoon meetings and preliminary development pencil/color roughs.
Part of this process also meant he might "overlay" changes by cutting out a piece of paper, gluing it down and then drawing over it.
Doug's August 1996 full-page color cartoon was published on p. 73.
