    Story / Additional InfoThe Femlings are not only original drawings by Neiman, but they are also a great example of 20th-century Americana; they symbolize the Playboy aesthetic of the 1960s and 70s and are icons of popular culture.
    When Hefner had the idea to start his men's magazine, he asked Neiman to do the original artwork, and the "Femling" was born! Neiman envisioned her as being 12" tall, so in most of the illustrations, she's in that scale. She's depicted as being mischievous, and as her name suggests, she's a female gremlin. Starting in 1957, every issue of Playboy had two black and white Femlings; she was usually on the jokes page behind the centerfold. Amazingly, Neiman contributed two Femlings drawings for every monthly issue, for 50 years. The illustrations were created as a "camera-ready" line-art, to be photographed and then reduced for inclusion in Playboy Magazine
