50%. Oh well. But Shel Silverstein was a Playboy cartoonist at the time. He started writing children's books later.

7/10. I don't know my authors or physicists very well.

As far as other pop culture examples go, I kept thinking I wanted to write about the character Minami from the Netflix show Million Yen Women, who stands out as one of the most well done examples of a nudist character, but it turns out I already did back in 2018: https://reflectedgaze.wordpress.com/2018/05/14/worth-a-million/

I will also add, since Tommy is in the banner image, the episode of Rugrats where all the babies give nudity a try and Tommy gets into it is burned in my brain as one of the best early examples of nudism I experienced.

Not well!! However - the knowledge I get from reading Planet Nude helped me to choose most of the correct answered that I did choose. 😊😊

7 of 10; never been much of a "pop culture" guy. I remember Shel Silverstein Playboy special, from when I would occasionally buy a Playboy and read it furtively: I always wanted to see if there were hints of naked full-frontal men, and I was excited at his cartoon with the caption, "Are you really going to draw us naked full-frontal?" - but the cartoon was from the knees down!

I was certain of 2 answers. 1 was a wrong guess. I didn't guess the rest, as they are all geared towards USA people / tv series or to people who watch a lot of films.

I simply had no clue. :-)

Missed 1,3,and 5. Oh well.

Family Guy, the family meets a naturist family, while it’s mainly a good example of naturist/nudist life, it’s a comedy so....

Smokey and the Bandit 3, without Burt Reynolds sorry ladies, Sheriff Buford and Junior stumble into a nudist resort. Junior tries it, his Daddy makes him leave. Comedy again, so they make fun of nudism/naturism.

It seems most of the time, nudism/naturism is used in mainstream media to either be a comedy piece, is used for the shock factor, or worse, to be titillating. None of which truly represents what Naturism/Nudism is about.
