Cartoons I don't get #26

Playboy, December 1962

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.

Now you're speaking my language.

This cartoon is from the August 1967 issue of Debonair. There seems to be a signature in the lower left but damned if I know what it says.
These next two are by Michael Berry
I'm not sure where this one comes from
The July 1962 issue of Eve. Not sure who “Greg” is.
