January 2004: 50th Anniversary Issue

Since the first issue of Playboy, covers featured both gorgeous ladies and the iconic Bunny - an exception, however, was the January 2004 Fiftieth Anniversary Issue.  The Bunny had the cover to himself.

Doug had two cartoons in the issue:

• "Well, your singing was off-key, but I really like the big finish."  on p. 141 of the 318-page issue.  The cartoon was also reproduced on p. 215 in The Art of Doug Sneyd, a 248-page hardcover book published by Dark Horse Books in July 2011.  It features 270 of Doug's full-page color cartoons.

• "Your husband should be home shortly, Mrs. Simpson.  He's pulling out now."  on p. 161.
