It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of cartoonist J.B. Handelsman.
Bud, as he liked to be called, had a long-standing relationship with Playboy. Nearly 400 of his cartoons have been published in the magazine, with the first appearing in the September 1965 issue and the latest in the July 2007 issue.
The majority of Bud’s cartoons deliver profound political and social statements. He tackled heavy subject matter with cynicism and humor creating drawings with an almost minimalist line and wash, as well as in glorious color. We will miss him very much.
