That Was the Year That Was, 1 of 2

First, Playboy would run something called Retroactive New Years' Resolutions, the joke being that the resolutions were the opposite of what happened with a personality in the news that year.

They were in the January issues after the years mentioned in the headings of the pieces, if they are.

1963
The illustrations in this one are by Randall Enos
1964
I can't make out the signature here.
1965
Hy Roth
1966
Artist from before whose signature I can't make out.
After a few years they switched over to That Was the Year That Was. The caricatures thereafter were drawn by Bill Utterbach.

You can learn about history from these pieces.
More next Monday
