Chicago Spanking Review is a Chicago-based free on-line journal of information and opinion on the the spanking scene, intended for those interested in the subject of adult spanking. Our goals are:

• Further the understanding of Spanking and Discipline within the context of human behavior. Our primary aim is to help those who are curious about their dominant or submissive desires, but we also want to provide a resource for the serious psychological researcher as the scientific literature on the subject is rather meager.
• Publicize spanking social events, especially those taking place in the American midwest, to encourage greater participation in them by members of the spanking community.
• Explain the importance of using proper techniques for both safety and satisfaction.
• Present stimulating photos and drawings (including comic-book spankings, a special interest of ours), placing them in social/historical context where possible.
• Provide a forum to promote discussion and an exhange of information among spankophiles.

CSR was designed to be easy to navigate - from this page you can reach almost any other page on the site with only two mouse clicks - but it is a very large site, and if you're having trouble finding your way around, try the search box below or take a look at the Navigation Page. For spankings taken from comics books and strips, you can also search the Comics Spanking Data Base (see button below).

All pictures and artwork have thumbnail images to help you locate what you want to see. Click on the color-coded radio buttons below to go to the section you want. Scroll down past the radio buttons to find links to our most recent updates.

Personal Messages from the Web-Ed

Next Week:

• A Julius Zimmerman drawing of a girl with a spankable bottom who gets pinched by Doctor Cylon.
• We confirm the details of the first Bill Wenzel secretary spanking cartoon and add a new scan.
• Humorama Series #74: applied psychology from Kirk Stiles takes the form of a psychology book applied where it's needed most!
• Collegeboy sent us a one-whack spanking with a broom from Ella Cinders.
• Another single-swat scene, this time on video from I Dream of Jeannie. Although Barbara Eden never got the full-bore OTK treatment as we would all have loved to see, she does yelp delightfully after getting one little swat with a clipboard here. Robin pointed out the clip was available on YouTube, and we edited it down to its essentials so our readers can enjoy the spank without wasting time on inessentials.

• A western cowgirl receives a hot seat from Doctor Cylon - twice!
• Hugob00m repairs a very early Bill Wenzel secretary spanking cartoon.
• Humorama Series #73: when a husband finds out how much his wife paid for a hat, she pays again - with a spanking!
• The tenth spanking from the comic strip Smilin' Jack certainly makes us wonder if creator Zack Mosley was a spanko, as Dan Rivera, who provided this scan, has long maintained. Dan also suggested that because we had previously counted a double-spanking only once, we should go back and renumber all the old spankings, which we have now done. We also revised the Smilin' Jack index (located on the same page with spanking #9). A lot of work, but worth it for the strip that must have had more adult M/F spankings than any other.

• New link to Spanking Tales and Toons, a a nice free site with spanking fiction and art, in the Links Section.
• Even light strokes from the cane are enough to leave the spankee's bottom stinging, as Doctor Cylon quickly demonstrates.
• New scan of the Bill Wenzel spanked hypochondriac cartoon.
• Humorama Series #72: a secretary who didn't get spanked - but then she married the boss and became a spanked wife!
• In the comic strip Johnny Hazard, a playgirl discovers that being a spoiled brat is hazardous to her ability to sit down!

• With a little help from Julius Zimmerman, Scooby-Doo's Velma touches her toes, providing Doctor Cylon with a superb target for his animated spanking hand.
• While we're on the subject, Doc Cylon also revisited a drawing he had used years ago of Scooby-Doo's other girl, Daphne, which we added to the existing page "Daphne Gets the Ruler".
• Dan Rivera gives Bill Wenzel's cop some proper fingers for his spanking hand.
• Humorama Series #71 - From Dan's collection comes another cartoon of Bill Wenzel as a man tries to cure his hiccups by spanking his girlfriend - at least that's what he claims!
• The second spanking from Captain Terry Thunder as Terry is confronted by a spoiled, disobedient General's daughter in Jungle Comics #6.
• Unexpected bonus: Wonder Woman must get down on her hands and knees for the hairbrush - in an actual comic book!!

• Doctor Cylon shows us the results of a well-placed swat in a work he calls "Stinger".
• Humorama Series #70 - We continue into the series' second year with a Bill Wenzel cartoon featuring a man in a bridge club who responds to a young woman trumping his ace by taking her over his knee.
• We revisit Nik Zula's ALF spanking with a colorized version done by Coyote on Fire.
• More spanking from Scooby-Doo as Velma ties up Daphne and spanks her! Art by Ken Walsh.
• We launch the new year with a new series of comic spankings, beginning with the fourth one from Abbie an' Slats which unfortunately takes place off-panel. Sent to us by Tiptopper, this is still a fine scene in which a father demonstrates to his grown-up daughter that she's not too big to be taken over his knee!

Surf Free or Die: This is a free site, something of a throwback to the early, pre-commercial days of the web. There's nothing wrong with commerce, of course - it is after all the lifeblood of the nation - but we're sick of pay sites run on the side by large porno outfits that have no genuine interest in spanking. There are some worthy pay sites of course (usually run by genuine spankos), and you can find a few of them on our links page along with free sites and blogs.

What we stand for: Our focus here is on adult spanking, with sane people engaging in safe, consensual play. Because of this, with some very minor exceptions we don't feature any material on this site involving the disciplinary spanking of children, a subject which can and should be discussed elsewhere (we're against it, by the way, like most spankos we know). Our concern is that if we included spankings of both adults and children, some people might think we were trying to eroticize child-spanking because the larger context in which it was presented included elements of adult erotic spanking as well. Therefore, despite our interest in comics, we won't post any of the numerous comic-book spankings involving Nancy, Li'l Dot, Li'l Jinx, etc. We don't consider Superbaby/Superboy spankings (really attempted spankings) to be a problem because, as will be seen in the Comics Gallery, they never come off. By contrast, there is a panel from an old Superboy that shows Professor Lang spanking a young Lana Lang that we won't post, although we do have an aborted spanking of Lana as an older teen. And we have posted an anti-school paddling article by "Martin" that echoes our own thoughts on the subject.

In the galleries, we try to present interesting examples of popular culture and erotic art, placing them in a social/historical context where appropriate. Most of this has appeared elsewhere, but some of the comics material is from our personal collection or was actually commissioned by us for the site. With the articles the situation is reversed: most are original and have never appeared anywhere else, offering our readers what we hope is a unique and valuable perpective.

Who we are: We (that's an editorial "we") call ourselves the Web-Ed because back in 2004 when we started the site, we didn't like the common term "Webmaster", although given the "master" part, it is somewhat appropriate in the broad context of D/S. We edit this site much the way we would a printed magazine (except that we can't pay contributors), so we shortened "Web Editor" to "Web-Ed". Because of our early involvement in the world of comic books, we also intended a sly reference to Spider-Man, who bore the appellation "Web-head", but this was too obscure to be picked up on by normal people. We won't give any more autobiographical details here, but you'll find bits and pieces scattered throughout the various pages. Every word on this site not specifically attributed or bylined to someone else was written by us.

Our website design philosophy: With the exception of the Bulletin Board, we write all our own code, and without fancy web page creation software either (we use Arachnophilia, simple but extremely useful and versatile freeware, for all HTML, PHP, CSS, and JAVA files). While we could do anything that other sites do (given the cooperation of our site host and the time to analyze and understand the code), we strongly believe in "keeping it simple." We hate the pop-up windows, slow-loading pages waiting for extensive 3rd-party content, and labyrinthine navigation that are all too common on web sites these days. Nor do we appreciate the assumption of some web-designers that every visitor has the latest and greatest browser with every obscure plug-in and extension. The use of flash players to provide picture slideshows in place of simple thumbnails hyperlinked to new pages is another unnecessary complexity all-too-frequently encountered.

We have therefore written simple web pages that display quickly, don't use pop-ups or lengthy scripts, and that can be reached from the home page with a maximum of three mouse clicks (usually two). We have shied away from a lot of video content because in our experience large video files and embedded players cause too many problems. There are plenty of other sites that feature extensive video content. Generally speaking, then, we're not too fond of excessive bells and whistles, but on the other hand we're not completely opposed to modernizing the site somewhat. In 2010 we added over 300 new pages, including some videos, and modified our page templates slightly to improve their appearance.

Submissions: We update the site with additional material whenever we can. Most of it we gathered ourselves, but we are always grateful for submissions although we can't pay for them (the only exception being occasional commissioned works of art). If you have written an article, a work of spanking fiction, or have any pictures (which you own or to which you hold the copyright) that you would like to see posted, please send them along to the web-ed.
