Playboy #8

In "Different Goals," a 1967 issue of Playboy, Jim Willoughby crafts a quietly unsettling story of marital tension and surreal release. A man takes his wife to the beach, where her persistent nagging leads to an increasingly strange and intimate act—she’s buried in the sand, inch by inch, with a strange calm that defies explanation. The story, written, drawn, and inked by Willoughby, unfolds with a deadpan precision that lingers long after the final panel.
