1960s Planned Parenthood Birth Control Comic

Yesterday BoingBoing pointed out this amazing comic from the late 50s/early 60s produced and distributed by Planned Parenthood about birth control and recently scanned in its entirety and put online by Ethan Persoff at ep.tc. From BoingBoing:

1956/1962 Planned Parenthood comic on Birth Control. Features a women so terrified at the thought of having a fourth baby she won't even let her husband KISS her. The husband gets so starved for sex he can't concentrate and jams his hand into heavy machinery at the plant! Amazing time capsule showing US views toward condoms and other birth control to be still heavily stigmatized as late as 1962.

What's amazing, of course, when reading this comic is precisely how much hasn't changed.

Find the best condom for you, and even more from About.com's guide to Contraception.
