Her Harem Dream, Interrupted
Although there’s no artist credit on the artwork, I believe this comic about a woman’s interrupted dream of being kidnapped and inspected for harem service is by Don Lawrence:
I found in the August 1975 issue of British adult magazine Mayfair.

Perfect for clock-changing season.
Unfortunately we’ll never know whether she passed inspection…
She’s drawn to be gorgeous, I can’t imagine that she would not have!
If you check page 1 the contents list Don Lawrence as the artist. Generally I think the artists were always listed in the contents in the same way as the photographers, rather than signing their work.
Carrie was always one of my favourite parts of the magazine before it was bought by Paul Raymond in ’91 which is when I stopped subscribing.
Finagle, well-spotted! I’ve corrected the post. Where I went wrong is that I confused Lawrence’s “Carrie” strip for Gallego’s “Dolly” strip, which (if you look at them side-by-side) is, I think, understandable.
A lot of men’s magazines in that era didn’t credit art or photography at all, they just bought it under contracts that didn’t require attribution, published it however they liked, and moved on. When I’m being slow and careful I do check masthead as well as magazine interiors but obviously for this post, I wasn’t slow/careful enough. I do appreciate the help!
I cheated, I knew where to look as a former long term subscriber to Mayfair.
Carrie changed artist a couple of times and I’ve seen the same style in other publications, including Dolly.
Mayfair was unusual as I felt it sat more in an intersection of arty glamour photography, gentleman’s lifestyle magazine and instruction manual. I felt it hit the blend better than Penthouse or Playboy, but that’s possibly because it was very British. It did take credits very seriously, and attracted lots of freelance photographers as a result, showcasing some excellent artful glamour work, that sadly nowadays seems only to be found in pretentious pricey ‘art’ magazines.
The takeover by Raymond in ’91 lost all the character and balance.
I had to look at this more than once before I realized what was happening with the clock. I guess I’m a bit slow this morning (or I’m just getting old).
