Does "full frontal view" mean "full frontal nudity"?
Context:
Since his debut in Mad, Neuman's likeness, distinguished by jug ears, a missing front tooth, and one eye lower than the other has graced the cover of all but a handful of the magazine's 500 issues. His face is rarely seen in profile; he has virtually always been shown in full frontal view, directly from behind, or in silhouette. Harvey Kurtzman first spotted the image on a postcard pinned to the office bulletin board of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballantine_Books editor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Shir-Cliff. "It was a face that didn't have a care in the world, except mischief," recalled Kurtzman. Shir-Cliff was later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.[1]

Hi,

Have you seen Alfred E. Neuman's face? Nobody would want to see him in full frontal nudity, because he is ugly.
