It also says he authored over 100 adult books.
Have you seen the types of books that are considered "adult books"?

certainly, transfer, you found THIS interview, then:
http://lynnmunroe.tripod.com/midwood.htm (about halfway down), a couple paragraphs below the, um, "artwork".
"Gil Fox was born in Connecticut in 1917. He grew up in Bridgeport and Harrison NY and studied musicology at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he is still remembered as the author of the college fight song. He was a bombardier in World War II. At college he met and married a Southern beauty who was bisexual. Her lesbian adventures would influence Fox’s writing for the rest of his life."
