Marge Simpson Playboy Cover Means More Than Just Cartoon Titties







The Marge Simpson cover is a clear nod to the empire's peak in the 1970s. Marge's now infamous image, itself considered to be groundbreaking as the first cartoon character to land a Playboy cover, was inspired by another bunny-eared milestone: The October 1971 issue featured Darine Stern, the first black woman to pose on a Playboy cover.
Darine Stern's picture on the October 1971 cover served as the inspiration for Playboy's November 2009 cover.
