The Great One’s answer [about Creamsicles and Dreamsicles](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_356a.html) was concise and enlightening; everything my answers to questions generally are not.

I’m wondering, though, if the accompanying graphic was _meant_ to be suggestive, or have I just been inhaling too much chalk dust?

I thought the same thing, so I’m guessing it is meant to be suggestive.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only horndog in the group 😃

I, for one, would be gravely disappointed if Slug ever did not intend for something to be suggestive.

I dunno. It doesn’t really look like Slug’s usual linework. Did someone else do the drawings early on?

Sometimes a Creamsicle is just a Creamsicle.

Not this time, but sometimes.

I agree. The original artist was George Lee - look at the link to the first column, in 1973:

[http://www.straightdope.com/faq/firstcolumn.html](http://www.straightdope.com/faq/firstcolumn.html)

It looks more like his style - unfortunately, the FAQ’s don’t say when Slug took over.
