“The Thinker of Tender Thoughts,” by Shel Silverstein, Playboy, September 1963 issue

Yes, that Shel Silverstein, a true Renaissance man, contributed cartoons to Playboy magazine for five decades. (He was a raunchy dude — see Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book.) You can see his early travel pieces in Playboy’s Silverstein Around The World and more of his “adult” cartoons in Different Dances.
