Working from an original drawing by "Tooner", Doc Cylon produced a pair of animations. In the first of these, a grown-up Ariel gets spanked by a disembodied hand. In the second, her bikini is lowered and a paddle applied.

02/04/2011 update: Doctor Cylon evidently liked this drawing so much, he did three more versions! The first of these utilizes a different hand than the one above. Next, he exchanges the hand for a spoon - a most unforgiving instrument! Lastly, the ruler is applied to good effect and a word balloon added to capture her reaction.

09/16/2011 update: Doctor Cylon administers two additional paddlings, one right-handed and the other left-handed, just to make sure all the bases (and the entire bottom) are covered - thoroughly!

05/19/2023 update: this drawing of Ariel by Tooner appears to have inspired Doctor Cylon more than we realized, and perhaps more than any other single work of art. We say this because in addition to the seven variations we have already seen, the Good Doctor completed seventeen more between 2009 and 2016! Moreover, three of them - which we begin with now - required the re-imagining of Ariel as Penelope Pitstop! That's some imagination ol' Doc has got, wouldn't you say?

Penelope's "British Auntie" came from Barbara O'Toole and was seen back in Doctor Cylon #76 (Mandy).

Now let's see the other fourteen variations, which we believe require little comment.
