Playboy #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"A Present for Christmas Carolers" delivers a sharp, wry moment of roadside tension in 1967, as a sports car driver’s quick thinking is put to the test after a minor collision with a semi hauling Mother's Bread. Written, drawn, and inked by Marty Murphy, the story captures a single, charged exchange with quiet humor and a touch of absurdity, all set against the backdrop of a winter road. The cover by Marty Murphy complements the tale’s offbeat tone with a striking, stylized image.
Four Christmas carolers make their rounds, taking turns singing outside while one slips inside the house—until all have gone in. The final panel reveals an attractive woman waving them off from the doorway, her smile hinting at a tale just beginning.
