If you need more evidence Jeffrey Epstein was one sick pup ... then look no further than his 50th birthday book — which features drawings of his favorite subject — underage girls!

Congress, as you know, obtained a copy of ol' Jeffrey's Bday book and released it publicly Monday, showing artwork from an unidentified artist (or pervert!) that will surely gross some people out.

The documents, obtained by TMZ, include a drawing depicting a man handing multi-colored balloons to a group of pig-tailed girls with "1983" scribbled at the bottom.

It's not exactly clear if the guy is Epstein because he has a full head of dark hair instead of his famous salt and pepper look. However, Epstein was just 30 in 1983, so he probably wasn't graying much yet.
