Old Playboy Cartoon - Artist?

[Doctor Spooky]

I've had this image for several years. In trying to find a larger version online I was able to determine that it was part of a Playboy Magazine compilation album published in 1959. The artist style looks like Erich Sokol but I don't think it is based on the signature in the lower left of the inner painting. If anyone knows the artist, or can read the signature, or even better has a larger version of this image, please post here. Thanks 🙂

Can't help with a bigger version...or the artist.

But I definitely love this piece. One of my classic faves.

Thanks for the fun reminder.
