He’s all about passenger safety, you can tell just by looking at him:
This comic is very much a product of its time. It appeared in the February 1957 issue of Rugged magazine. The 1956 model year may have been the first to see rear-seat safety belts; Ford offered them as an option for the first time that year.
The cartoon is signed “McCartney” but if you think the art style looks a bit like Bill Ward, well, various internet sources like this one say that Ward sometimes used that name for some of his magazine cartoonery.

Ladies and gentlemen, open your ‘shop software and fire up your meme engines! Because I just found a wonderful 1972 stroke-book-cover version of the famous Distracted Boyfriend meme. Our fellow with the wandering eyes here must be an ass man, because the woman he’s with has tits that ought to be enough for any man. Although her narrowed eyes, pursed lips, and generally annoyed demeanor put me in mind of that old adage: No matter how beautiful any woman may be, somewhere there’s a man who may be getting tired of putting up with her quirks.
Artwork is from the cover of Confessions Of A Swapper, which is “A Dr. Guenter Klow Library Selection” (GK-39) from Eros Goldstripe. I don’t have an artist credit, but if this isn’t Bill Ward or (I’m thinking maybe) Gene Bilbrew, I’ll eat my hat. (I don’t have a hat.)

It may be true that she’s “making” him eat her ass with the pressure of one leather-gloved hand, but there’s extrinsic evidence that he’s quite cheerful about the ass-eating task she’s set him to:
Artwork is by the inimitable Bill Ward, who drew everything from silly cartoons to brutal BDSM but never seemed quite so much at home with his own art as when he was drawing submissive men and the domininatrixes who play with them.

It looks to me as if the lady isn’t too keen on really diving into the oral ministrations this blowjob scene would seem to require. On the other hand, with one hand on the shaft of his cock and one firmly wrapped around his balls, I don’t expect he’s dumb enough to complain:

Long before the “Prepare your anus” meme ever came bubbling up out of the internet’s swampy bits, fetish artist Bill Ward was illustrating the general idea. If you prefer a naval metaphor, this trembling Ward heroine has cleared her decks for action:

I’ll grant you that staking out the art studio in order to ogle the model who is always late for her live modeling sessions looks like a clever strategem at first glance. But wouldn’t it be a lot simpler and more effective just to sign up for the class?

Bill Ward was a prolific fetish artist and illustrator whose work provided striking covers and interior illustrations for a whole bunch of stroke books back in the day. I wouldn’t say he was a good artist precisely; for one thing, his people have odd proportions, and he tended to draw women that look just like his men, only with implausible tits superglued to their fronts.
It’s also my impression that Ward didn’t really understand many of the fetish topics he illustrated on any kind of emotional level. Too often, for example, his BDSM people don’t seem to be having any fun. Not to put too fine a point on it: his tops look angry and his bottoms look miserable. When I see art like that, my first thought is “These people are bad at bdsm dating — they need to do a better job of finding compatible playmates!”
This current set of illustrations illustrates the problem perfectly. (They are from the 1973 title A Woman To Be Feared by John G. Yard; it’s an Eros Goldstripe “Bizarre Books” publication.) From the very start, the domme looks nothing but angry, and her sub is in tears. Now, I’m not saying there might not be some tears in a perfectly happy and healthy F/m kinky relationship, especially when there’s a huge paddle and/or a vicious-looking cane in play. Sometimes that’s how people roll with their kinks. But does this man ever have a look on his face that suggests he wants to be present in the scene?
Don’t get me wrong, Ward had his moments of erotic brilliance. I wouldn’t have at least fifteen posts of his work in the ErosBlog post database if I didn’t like some of his stuff. But he was such a prolific artist, it’s impossible not to suspect that he often worked to order, without much concern for the content. “We need a dozen illustrations for our latest dominatrix book, the title is “A Woman To Be Feared,” no you don’t need to read it, it’s the same old shit for wimpy perverts, just give us the usual package.” It often seems to me that if he wasn’t inspired, or if the fetish topic in his work order didn’t have personal meaning for him, he may have just kinda winged it. In the most extreme cases, I expect this lack of engagement may have extended back up the chain of production to the stroke book authors and publishers, churning out cheap porn on fetish topics without having any more notion than Ward what the fetishes were about on an emotional or practical level. How else to explain an illustration like this next one, featuring our unhappy submissive having tap water forced into his mouth?
To be fair, their imprint was called “Bizarre Books”, and kitchen sink water torture is undeniably bizarre. I’m not sure what else it has going for it. Likewise this scene, where our beleaguered boy is getting kicked in the ass with a sharp stiletto heel while his mistress simultaneously slams a door on his head. What the actual fuck?
I’m not the kink police, and to be fair this was the 1970s. But I say “no.” The only rational conclusion is that this was bad femdom, written and illustrated by people who did not understand the kink and did not care that they didn’t.

It’s amazing how many celebrities there are who I’ve never heard of until they get humiliated on the internet in some viral scandal that touches on the interests of ErosBlog readers. Last week, it was the turn of one hip-hop dude (I had to look that part up) named DJ Khaleed, who had a 2015 interview video surface in which he blathered on at too much honest length about how he is unable to lick pussy. Yeah, that’s his story; he says he “just can’t.”
To celebrate his weak-ass tongue and his even-weaker sexual politics, here’s some vintage-1977 “sixty-nine” (as they used to call it) art by Bill Ward:

When the social taboos against a thing are strong enough, it’s not so easy to just ignore them. But we are clever apes; ways and means can always be found. How can you suck a dick and yet not have to be gay? Well, in the mid-20th century, maybe that’s not so easy. But what if somebody stood over you with a whip and made you suck a dick? Totally not gay then, right? OK, cool, now how do you make that happen? Well, you could totally hire a dominatrix and pay her to stand over you with her whip…
