  And in December 1953, the first issue of the men's magazine Playboy made its debut and in it was the first of dozens of cartoons done by Al Stine.
  
  These days, Mr. Stine is the owner and artist-in-residence at Stine Gallery in downtown Anderson.
  ...
  Mr. Stine, now 82, has had many jobs since then, but it is his time at Playboy that still perks up the ears of his students, his fans and, sometimes, even himself.
  
  "When I took the job it was just another freelance job for me," Mr. Stine said sitting in the upstairs studio of his gallery."I never really thought about it as anything real significant."
  
  But it was.Mr. Stine is one of only a handful of people who can say they were with Hugh Hefner from the beginning.
  ...
  When Mr. Stine got the initial call in '53, he was working as an illustrator for a Chicago studio on accounts like Magnavox, but he was always on the lookout for reasons to draw something different.Ever since he can remember, he has wanted to be a cartoonist and followed that dream to the Chicago Academy of Art and the tutelage of Van Schumacher, a well-respected editorial cartoonist.
  
  "I wanted to be an editorial cartoonist or a strip cartoonist, but circumstances led me away from that," Mr. Stine said.
  ...
  "They were paying me $25 per gag for my comics, but Hef offered me that money in stock in the company," Mr. Stine recalled.
  ...
  For eight years, Mr. Stine had at least one comic in every issue of Playboy.Sometimes, that number jumped to two or three per issue.He and Mr. Hefner came up with the magazine's signature ladies, "Babs and Shirley," a blonde and brunette who got into various mischief.His ideas stemmed from his own life or came from gag writers who would send in unsolicited comics for possible use.The models for his pictures came in the form of friends, models and even his own wife at the time.
  
  Mr. Hefner aside, Mr. Stine is one of the few people whose impact on the magazine has lasted for 50 years.
  ...
  "He was excited to hear from me again," Mr. Stine said.
  ...
  Circumstances and surroundings had changed, but Mr. Stine said Mr. Hefner was, and still is, a loyal, trusting guy who remembers his friends.
  ...
  Mr. Hefner had shipped nearly all the original cartoons Mr. Stine had done for him over those eight years and even offered him a chance to do some more.
  ...
  "It brought back a lot of memories," Mr. Stine said."It was good to see them all up in a group and to look back on what was.At the time it was just another job, but it certainly started something."
  
  Now, visitors to the gallery can see Mr. Stine's original Playboy work by appointment and take a look back to a piece of the beginning of a magazine that changed the way America looked at things.But, for Mr. Stine, it's another stop on a long artistic journey.
