"Male Chauvinist Pictures presents Pin-ups and downs"

Peter Pontiac (1951-2015) was a Dutch underground cartoonist, contributing to the Netherlands' most famous underground comic "Tante Leny Presenteert" who then moved into other forms of illustration and art. Pontiac would fit right in with Zap cartoonists like Robert Williams, Rick Griffin, and S. Clay Wilson.

This book collects comics, illustrations, advertisements, calendar art, etc., by Pontiac.

For adults only.

From the back cover:

"Ever since Brigitte Bardot appeared in my youth, I have been fascinated by pin-ups. There is still little more fun to draw than seductive women," said Peter Pontiac in 2011, hastily adding that he should certainly not be considered a "sex-crazed girl-chaser".

This publication brings together a selection of graphic novels, magazine covers, posters, calendar illustrations and silkscreen prints that testify to Pontiac's penchant for high heels, sexy lingerie and Roman lust. Was it not Saint Augustine who cried out: "Lord, give me chastity, but not yet"?

Sinds Brigitte Bardot in mijn jeugd verscheen, ben ik in de ban van pin-ups. Nog steeds is er weinig zo fijn om te tekenen als verleidelijke vrouwen." Aldus Peter Pontiac in 2011, haastig eraan toevoegend dat hij zeker niet beschouwd dient te worden als een "sex-crazed meidengek".

Deze uitgave bundelt een selectie beeldverhalen, tijdschriftcovers, posters, kalender-illustraties en zeefdrukken die getuigen van Pontiacs voorliefde voor hoge hakjes, sexy lingerie en roomse wellust. Was het niet de heilige Augustinus die uitriep: "Heer, geef me kuisheid, maar nu nog niet"?

From Lambiek.net:

Peter Pontiac was one of the most prominent artists and designers of the Dutch alternative art scene. As the "godfather" of Dutch underground comix, he rose to prominence in the 1960s hippie scene, before reinventing himself during the 1970s-1980s punk era with his comic character Gaga. He later became a productive illustrator for newspapers, music magazines, posters and record covers in the Netherlands. Mostly staying within the realm of subcultures, Pontiac was widely praised for his raw, personal, and highly detailed artwork. His stories about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll pioneered the genre of autobiographical comics, before other artists made it mainstream. One of the most recognizable artists in the Netherlands, Peter Pontiac's art is still well-sought after today and enjoys an enduring cult following.
