Cartoons I don't get #30: Steinberg 3 of 3

Saul Steinberg was a regular contributor to The New Yorker until his death. He's probably most famous for the ”View of the World” cover he did for them.

He's being included in the category because they're cartoons you won't get. The thing about that is there is nothing to get. Just funny drawings. Here were some cartoons he did for various issues of New Yorker in 1960. Previous installments are here and here.

Playboy, December 1962
John Dempsey
I know it's about his penis. But since it's at a nudist colony I'd think everyone would recognize his penis, not just those two women. The real question, though. is why some people wear flip-flops and some don't.

Playboy, December 1965
Eldon Dedini
The punchline is that what he does is have sex, but I only know that because the cartoon is from Playboy. I'd have no idea what they were talking about otherwise.

This only makes sense in some states. There's been a gift counselor gag in almost every batch of cartoons I've posted, so it's been established that was once a mainstay at most stores, but in some states wine and liquors only at their own store is something completely unknown.

Saul Steinberg is one of those cartoonists you don't get because there's nothing you're supposed to get. Just cool drawings. I'll be devoting a couple posts exclusively to his cartoons after I'm done with this holiday stuff.
