Displaying the wit and marvelous drawings that made Silverstein one of the most beloved artists of the century, this collection reproduces the 23 travel pieces he created for Playboy between 1957 and 1968.
A very dated collection of travelogue cartoons from the 1950s and 1960s filled with ugly American sentiments, sexism, and homophobia. And since it was published in Playboy, nudity and sex puns abound.
For Silverstein or Playboy completists only.

A collection of cartoons first published in Playboy in the 50s and 60s, drawn by Shel Silverstein on his travels to various countries and sojourns among various subcultures. A fair number of these gave me a little chuckle, but I don't think they have nearly the sharp, clever, zany bite that his later kids' stuff does. (Which is maybe a little bit ironic.) Not all of them have aged terribly well, either, and this being Playboy, way too many of them are about hitting on chicks around the world, often in ways that may have been amusing to a male in the 1960s, but aren't nearly as funny to a 21st century female. There's also a weird cruelty-to-animals motif, as Silverstein fights a bull in Spain, attends a cockfight in Mexico, and shoots a water buffalo in Africa.
Overall, I really would not call this essential Silverstein. ( )

Schickless Shel Silverstein, the brilliant, bearded cartoonist whose work appears regularly in Playboy, served most of a two year army hitch with the staff of the Pacific Stars and Stripes, bringing a bit of satirical sunlight into the dark days of the Korean occupation.
