With the exception of the depraved glorified violence was instead a protest of the Vietnam war, when I was 10 the first album I bought contained all those qualities. The album was called, The Original Cast Broadway Production of ‘Hair’ (c. 1969).
This is an interesting point in the strip’s run. You can see it changing from a fairly witty gag strip to the philosophical adventures it became known for in later years.
My father (a tight-assed, tight-lipped prude) had earthquake conniptions when I came home with two Cheech & Chong albums. Goin’ downtown, gonna see my girl…
My mother loved the song “Beth” by KISS. One day when we were shopping, I asked her, “Do you want to see what the guys who sing ‘Beth’ look like?” She was interested, so I showed her the cover of “Destroyer” (where the song came from). I don’t think she ever listened to the song again.
Playboy, late 1963. The centerfold one month was Donna Michelle, a student at UCLA as I was then. We had a directory of cards, and someone claimed to have stole Donna’s card: (Donna Michelle? Beat you to it.). Nobody then even considered that Donna Michelle was a made up name to protect her privacy.

Of course, Calvin’s a pervert, but at the same time, a misogynist.

Scrambled Debutante sounds like a good name for a punk rock/metal band.

I’d buy it for the music to play it at the wrong RPM and let the hilarity ensue.

Calvin must get a very generous allowance to be able to afford a new LP.

Are there subliminal messages when you play it backward, Calvin?

It’s interesting that Calvin had the money to buy an album. To which an obvious response would be, why let internal logic get in the way of the joke?

Calvin: This album promotes a bunch of things that nobody can say on GoComics without getting banned!
Hobbes: 0_o

If your mom likes your music, it is a sure sign to switch genres. :)

Throw in multiple profanities including copious amounts of F words; not to mention the “N” word, and you have a rap group.

I remember back in the 60s and 70s some of the best pin-up art was on album jackets.
