Chicago Spanking Review

Kerry Drake #1

---> Comics Gallery 2

Almost two years ago we posted a spanking from Kerry Drake in Comics Gallery 1. At the time, our friend JimC gave us some background information and mentioned that there was at least one other spanking from the strip, this one involving Kerry's brother Lefty Drake and a spankee named Bootsie Belmont. Ironically, Jim had lost his own copy of this second spanking, which was one of his favorites (see The Seven Spankings on the bulletin board), while we'd forgotten we had a copy in our files! Then JS666 came to the rescue and posted his copy over on Chross, and finally we're going to post ours here.

And now, having introduced our players and written The History of The Hundred Years War, let's turn the narration over to Jim:

"Bootsie had been riding her horse, and Lefty had just finished a case [he's a private detective - Web-Ed] and was crossing the park on a different path [when] a dog startled her horse and bucked her. She was whipping the horse for bucking her and Lefty intervened, explaining why the horse bucked. She cursed him and slapped at him, as she was very spoiled and arrogant, and Lefty then took her under his arm, carried her to a bench, put her over his knee and spanked her."

This is a fine spanking, well-motivated and well-executed. The year is unknown, but the date appears to be November 23. [Later corrected to be Nov. 25 - see below. Web-Ed]

Once again, we have Sweetspot to thank for doing additional research to clear things up. At left is the first of four new scans he provided of the spanking scene and the rather interesting strips that followed in the next three days. First of all, the correct date is now known to be November 25, 1970.

Here is another scan showing more details. The date is now clearly seen to be "11-25".

Bootsie tells both her grandfather and this guy named Greg that Lefty spanked her - good to know she was still thinking about it the next day!

Note the "mod" decor in the background of the cafe/restaurant in which this scene takes place. Then remember it's 1970, man!

We get to see another copy of the spanking panel as Bootsie's grandfather pays a call on Lefty. How wonderful that everyone is still talking about the spanking!

Bootsie's grandfather turns out to be glad that Lefty spanked her. Looks like another case where the doting parent (or grandparent) couldn't bring himself to administer needed discipline to the wayward bad girl but was pleased by a strong man coming along to do the deed. See, e.g., Smilin' Jack spanks Joy Beaverduck. For all we know, Bootsie Belmont straightened out her whole life after receiving the spanking she deserved.

Note: there is also some discussion of these panels over on the forum under the "Threats and Missed Opportunities" topic, although Lefty sure didn't miss when he aimed those spanks!
