Robert "Buck" Brown was an iconic and prolific cartoonist whose thousands of pieces appeared in Playboy, Esquire, Ebony, and Jet. Buck's cartoons ranged widely in subject matter from the sexual revolution, golfing, and westerns to parodies of figures from history and literature. He is perhaps best known for inventing the character of "Naughty Granny" for Playboy in 1966. As an African American artist, his insight and humor were an important contribution to the magazine during and after the American civil rights movement. Brown passed away in July 2007 at the age of 71.
