Robert Brown (cartoonist)

Robert "Buck" Brown (February 3, 1936 – July 2, 2007) was an American painter and cartoonist best known for creating Playboy magazine's toothless, saggy-breasted, highly-sexed, naughty "Granny" character.

[3] Brown's first cartoon in Playboy, a black-and-white drawing of a boy holding a trumpet, ran in 1962.

He created several album covers for the Chiaroscuro Jazz Record label, including The Red Holloway Quintet's Standing Room Only, Frank Wess Quartet's Surprise, Surprise, Jay McShann's My Baby With The Black Dress On and A Lindy Hop Compilation.

Brown was also a painter of what he described as "soul genre paintings" depicting humorous images of everyday life.

[5] Brown's daughter, Tracy Hill recalls that the Bill Cosby once bought one of his paintings.
