What looks as outdated and silly as an old issue of Playboy magazine?

@blackarcher256

I bet you can still remember the names of some of those "articles". Two of my favorites were Cynthia Myers and Connie Kreski...

@SW-User Laugh…you are correct sir. Two of my favorites Debra Jo Fondren and Dorthy Stratton. Out of nostalgia I still have a couple of the Anniversary issues. I all seriousness though, some very famous authors wrote stories for Playboy back in the day. Alex Haley, Issac Asimov to name just two.

@blackarcher256

The fiction was my favorite, actually... Roald Dahl's The Visitor stood out to me. There was also the perfect "What would you wish for" story that turned out just fine for the wisher lol. How extraordinary is that?

@SW-User I concur. Some of it was really good. It introduced me to a number of authors I might not have read otherwise.

I don’t know the Visitor story. I’ll have to check it out on one of the Playboy archive sites.

@blackarcher256

If I remember correctly it's available free somewhere on the net - - but it's not the same experience reading it off a screen.

@SW-User True…but finding a print copy nowadays would be near impossible

@blackarcher256

Sadly true.
