Playboy #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"His Own Best Friend" is a striking 1968 tale from Playboy #1, written, drawn, and inked by George Dole in a single, distinctive hand. The story unfolds with a quiet moment of intimacy and tension as a woman, just stepping into a top, answers the door through a Dutch door’s upper half—her pose and the frame’s split reveal creating an immediate, subtle narrative pull. The cover by George Dole complements the issue’s mood with a bold, stylized image that captures the same blend of vulnerability and allure.
In this brief 1968 humor piece from Playboy, a woman lounging nude in a chair answers the door by simply slipping on a top—just enough to cover herself, since she only opens the upper half of a Dutch door. The moment’s quiet absurdity is underscored by the typeset letters, lending a dry, deadpan tone to the scene.
