Kliban was by all accounts was a guarded individual who only very rarely granted interviews. It occurred to me that after many years as a fan that I didn't know what he looked like. There's a cartoon of his called, something like, "Watch-out Cartoonist in Town" (I forget the precise title) and it shows a Jewish-Italian looking guy with busty models on either arm, strutting down the street, with by-standers showing deference to-da-man. This is the likeness that I had in mind. I wasn't too far wrong - I guess the cartoon was also a clever self-parody.
Here is an article providing many biographical details and tantalising photos of him as a teen and as an adult.
