"Christmas Story" not so much Playboy. My ma always did a great job of pushing me to the edge of my creative pier. "What are all the other kids doing ? Do you want your book report cover to look like everyone else's ? No ? Than eat these candies and the glue the wrappers to this cover."
I had the best Chocolate War cover. Now I write and get paid to teach kids how to make corsets.
