The first scan features everything included in the listing- with further scans for greater detail, including scan two which is the original 8 1/2 by 11 inch concept sketch rendered on copy paper and approval by Hugh Hefner (and is denoted by Hugh Hefner himself as "OK Color H" as in "okay to proceed, Hugh Hefner) as well as the page with the finished cartoon (removed from that issue). The third and fourth scan features four more sketches rendered in pencil on vellum (and each measure roughly 8 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches). The fifth scan shows one Xerox copy of the cover of the issue this cartoon appears in (though please note that the magazine itself is not included in with the listing).
