Bert Henry Album covers
Bert Henry was a "blue" Los Angeles comedian back in the fifties & sixties who looked like the actor who played Dennis the Menace's dad on TV. He recorded a number of live albums in LA dive clubs featuring quick, whiz-bang gags, stunningly X-rated for their day, some featuring bawdy naked lady album covers.
These are my favorites of his covers though, featuring realistic renderings of his crazed, nebbishy head:
