I didn't read it (I was at work, B&N in NYC), but that's the big difference. Oh, and Playboy is a magazine with great articles and a few pictures of nekkid women. Playgirl has lots of nekkid men with a few articles. Playboy also has better art and cartoons.<BR/><BR/>(Confession: one criteria of collecting old Playboys was Little Annie Fanny. And I remember a Vargas centerfold of a sexy batgirl...)<BR/><BR/>And for girls AND guys, I think Cosmic Boy and his frankenfurter costume is probably the beefiest of the beefcake. (The hot pink costume is cute, too.)Torsten Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003810809542196460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-38652488391501813122008-08-07T17:40:00.000-04:002008-08-07T17:40:00.000-04:00>>And could a comic only featuring cheesecak...>>And could a comic only featuring cheesecake men appeal to female readers in the same way Witchblade appeals to male readers?>><BR/><BR/><BR/>Fangirls have been doing that for years with yaoi manga and slash fanfiction.ashez2asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618228091305965833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-66395350722495970282008-08-07T15:27:00.000-04:002008-08-07T15:27:00.000-04:00Playboy and Playgirl are/were published by two dif...Playboy and Playgirl are/were published by two different companies.
