Proudly dedicated to a gleeful and unapologetic showcase of white-trash adult humour from 1965 to 1983 and deemed "the True Jokelore of America",

Sex to Sexty! boasted Texan artist Pierre Davis, whose elaborate and richly colourful oil-painted covers (all 198 of which are collected here) immediately alerted readers to the wink-wink delights within.
