More Fat Femlin Ayane (Patreon)

Femlin (mascot of Playboy's Party Jokes page from the 50s to the 80s, maybe longer) is significant for me because she's the first recurring adult cartoon character I ever saw, at a time when nudity was more of a curiosity and non-erotic for me. As a result, my reaction was more about being impressed with the style, humor, and sheer cuteness that the artist served up in that little black & white icon. I was inspired to make my own cute girl doing cute things, and would attempt to draw her while bored in class, until another boy ratted me out to the teacher. That discovery was clearly the first step on the path to making my own custom characters later on.
I totally forgot about her for a while, having stopped reading Playboy when I discovered the whole BBW and WG thang.
