Playboy Dec. 1977, "Great Moments in Censorship": Happy Birthday, Don Perlin!

 Happy birthday to artist Don Perlin (born Aug. 27, 1929)! From the Playboy Dec. 1977 article "Great Moments in Censorship," a reprint of a panel from the magazine The Nashville/Gospel, showing "Gospelman" arresting Larry Flynt. Scripter unknown (Playboy didn't mention the credits of the original comic strip), art by Don Perlin. While the breasts in this panel are undefined outlines, I think enough buttcrack is shown for this panel to count as nudity--the only nudity I've encountered so far in Perlin's work.
