Wanda encouraged her father to chase Candyfloss, resulting in his death from exhaustion and enabling Wanda to claim her inheritance. While in later parts of the series, she would have a handful of male 'toys' whom she would use and abuse until they died of exhaustion, her sexual preference was almost exclusively for women.Ĭandyfloss is a 16-year-old blonde nymphet was originally sent as a "present" to Wanda's father, but his daughter claimed her as her own. She also travelled through time, courtesy of a time machine, visiting France during the French Revolution, England during the signing of the Magna Carta, and Germany during World War II, before briefly visiting the future and returning to the present.
Her adventurous travels took her to such exotic locales as:
She lived in an old castle called the Schloss (the German word for 'castle') on Lake Zurich, Switzerland, and ran a bank which, among other things, contained secrets that could bring down world governments. Main characters Wanda Von Kreesus Ī beautiful black-haired heiress to a multi-million-dollar fortune, 19-year-old Wanda Von Kreesus was a “man-hating” lesbian. In line with the relatively explicit direction that Penthouse had taken following the " pubic Wars", the strip featured pubic hair.Īlthough male characters occasionally appeared nude, their genitals were not often shown and they were shown mostly in the background, with none of the sometimes gratuitous appearances that often was true with regard to female characters.Ī running gag in several of the early comic strips features a pastiche of Little Annie Fanny (published by Playboy, Penthouse's main competitor) in which the character is found out to have fake breasts or buttocks which deflate when popped. The strip's characters appeared naked or partially clothed, and great care was given to the female form, especially the breasts and buttocks.
#PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE CARTOONS TV#
In the 1960s, Ron Embleton, already a veteran comic book artist, had worked extensively for TV Century 21 comic, illustrating stories based on the television programmes Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, amongst others. The strip regularly appeared in Penthouse magazine from 1973 to 1980. Oh, Wicked Wanda! was a British full-colour, satirical adult comic strip, written by Frederic Mullally, and drawn by Ron Embleton. Enjoy, and keep an eye out for more Sokol, because we plan to revisit him a bit later.German Grrrr (a parody of Germaine Greer) We also enlarged the text to make it more easily readable.
Six of these cartoons are original scans, and we augmented the group with examples we found online. In any case, when Sokol's humor falls flat it's still cute, at least as far as we're concerned. Time can be a humor killer-we made a quip earlier today and it was stale before we even finished it. As with any vintage humor his gags are hit and miss today. Friends and acquaintances describe him as a bigtime partier who dreamt up much of his material while drinking in bars. His style is distinct-curvaceous women with wide, archer's bow mouths, men with long noses and often baffled expressions, and, compared to other cartoonists, deep dimensionality and color in the backgrounds. Sokol's mission was simple-try to be artful and funny, while discussing sex in an entertaining way. This friend is an animator in Hollywood, so he has a keen interest in the work of British cartoonist Erich Sokol, who was one of the best visual humorists regularly published in Playboy. It was an unsolicited and much appreciated gift. We had a visitor not long ago who brought us some pages he'd clipped from old Playboy magazines. It's nice to have friends that like Pulp Intl.
