Playboy #9

In "The Ultimate Kick," Eldon Dedini delivers a sharp, satirical take on environmental neglect through a classic trio of monkeys—Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil—now joined by a fourth: Smell No Evil. The story, written and illustrated by Dedini with his signature wit and line work, finds the primates gathered in front of a belching industrial plant, their silent protest a pointed commentary on apathy in the face of pollution.
