What's New, Pussycat?

Most people know Frank Frazetta as an artist in the fantasy vein. But hea has also created some magnificent artwork for comedies. It's not quite as crazy as it might sound. Keeping in mind that he assisted Al Capp with his comic Li'l Abner, the comedy posters are not that far fetched.

It started when someone at United Artists noticed his work in a magazine. This led to a proposal to make the poster for What's New, Pussycat? in 1965.

Frazetta made two different artworks for the poster. The one presented here, was the most used. The poster designs varied. The artwork was even reversed on some of them. But here it is on a 6-sheet version.

And speaking of Li'l Abner, look at the body of Ursula Andress in the artwork. Daisy Mae, anyone?
