TFA blurb review
The Playboy is a graphic novel by Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown (pictured), serialized in 1990 in his comic book Yummy Fur and collected in different revised book editions in 1992 and 2013. It deals with Brown's guilt and anxiety over his obsessive masturbation to Playboy Playmate models; out of fear of being caught, he repeatedly rids himself of copies of the magazine, only to retrieve them later. His conflicting emotions follow him into adulthood until he purges them by revealing himself through his comics. The free, organic arrangement of odd-shaped panels of simple, expressive artwork contrasts with his more detailed grid-like pages in his 1980s work, such as Ed the Happy Clown. The Playboy forms part of Brown's early-1990s autobiographical period, and was the first book-length work he planned as a complete story. It has attracted praise for its revealing honesty and criticism from those who saw it as glorifying pornography.

Curly Turkey: really sorry about what happened last summer. Hope you're doing well. I'll leave a note on your user talk page in case you're checking in from time to time. Anyway: thoughts and edits (up to 1025 characters total) are welcome. There's no rush; this hasn't been scheduled at TFA yet. - Dank (push to talk) 20:52, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
