...Fair-no relation to today's glossy-depicted women of loose morals wearing men's trousers, and in the process earned a reputation as "the raciest thing around," according to Dian Hanson's The History of Men's Magazines, Vol. 1. As Hanson notes, the 1920s also marked the debut of Dawn magazine, a publication concerned with the erotic intersection of "eugenics, nudism and figure studies." By the end of that decade and into the 1930s, the nascent comic book industry was a leading purveyor of porn. Folios known as "Tijuana Bibles" - 2-by-4-in., eight-page booklets named...
...Underdog (1965), Kermit the Frog (1977), Barney (1994). Walt Disney got in on the action in 1934, with the first Mickey and Minnie Mouse balloons. But the character with the most balloons has been Snoopy. Charles Schultz' floppy-eared mutt has gone through six balloon changes since his debut...

...implied pressures toward more commercial artistic aims elicited a shift in Conner’s medium of choice. In the late-1950s, Conner moved toward filmmaking, bringing the same creative philosophy which had inspired his sculptures to film collages, assembled from varied and seemingly incongruous source materials. His 1958 debut, titled simply “A Movie”, is perhaps his most famous film. The work is a collage inter-cutting various scenes of restless, frustrated, even comically absurd mobility—men on horses, novelty bicycles, surfboards, water-skis and racecars—clips of peep-show footage...
