Playboy #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Unexpected Result" is a striking 1971 story from Playboy, written, drawn, and inked by Marty Murphy, capturing a tense, intimate moment in a convertible with the top down. As a man tries to persuade his date into a private act, claiming they're alone in the desert, the quiet tension is disrupted by the sudden approach of a passing Greyhound bus—unseen by him but unmistakably present. The cover by Marty Murphy perfectly mirrors the story’s sharp, unexpected turn.
In this brief, clever 1971 humor piece from Playboy, a man stands beneath a heavy weight, eyes fixed on a button on the wall—classic suspense setup, classic payoff. The twist comes when he presses it, but the result is anything but what you’d expect.
In "Ideal Portrait," a father commissions a street artist to sketch his scruffy, long-haired son, then asks for a second version—showing the teen clean-shaven with short hair. The contrast between the two portraits captures a quiet moment of longing and perception, all drawn in a single page of playful, observant humor.
