Notes:
On his series of 7 Shepherd's pie tapes he mentions that the
following stories were winners of the Playboy Humor Award: Ollie
Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss - 7/68; Leopold Doppler and the Orpheum
Gravy Boat Riot - 10/65; County Fair - 9/69; Skut Farkas and the
Murderous Mariah - 4/67
I have confirmed with copies of Playboy the following winners:
Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories - 6/69; Ollie
Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss -7/68 (2nd Place); Return
of the Smiling Wimpy Doll - 12/67, and Leopold Doppler and the
Orpheum Gravy Boat Riot - 10/65
The awards section did not mention County Fair which would have
been the same year as Wanda Hickey, nor did it mention Skut Farkas
which was the same year as Smiling Wimpy.
 Shep also sent
this note to Playboy thanking them for an award given to "The Mole
People..." |
