As with most of these sexy 70's novelty gag gift boxes, the lid art design will almost always steer your mature minds into a rather immature direction, one that is most definitely not represented once you actually open the box. In this case, being a "swinger" means something a bit darker, though no less funny, despite what is actually happening on the lid. Made by Franco "Swing!" American Novelty Co. in 1973, and hello, there's that funny little monkey and rabbit in the hat mascot from a few gag gift posts ago too! Some really great cartoon art all around, --and a huge thank you to my cohort in kitsch for the awesome present as well! XXX

great find!
I see the rats have already gotten to that poor swinger's toes. And man, that's a really great logo! I can't believe it went right over my head back on the Little Ass post. I swear sometimes I need somebody to read these things to me.
It's something I comment on a lot, but I always like how in the cartoon-ish sexy drawings the men are always draw goofy and the women are always drawn much more realistically. I can think of a whole lot of psychology behind this, but it's enough of a trend to be noticed.
Also: Again, another great font on the logo.
Would this be considered gallows humor?
I could picture this as a novelty for Gomez Addams in his den/study.
The magic monkey is cute, as is the rabbit in the hat.
