#26 - Dog Paddle Spanking

a man spanks his girlfriend calling it dog-paddling in jackpot #1

A swimmer teaches his girlfriend what "dog-paddling" is in Jackpot #1 (December 1974). Artist unknown but we're calling him "Hill" for discussion purposes (click to increase in size).

It cannot be denied that this spanking cartoon is rather lame. While its gag, based around a supposed double-meaning of the word "dog-paddle", is unique in our experience, it's also not very good. We do have fairly decent OTK positioning (the variant in which the spanker uses a stool to raise one leg), and the spanker had the good sense to take down the spankee's bikini panties so he can "dog-paddle" her bare bottom! This cartoon appeared in the December 1974 issue of Jackpot, which shows the spanking cartoon was still alive and well among Humorama's rivals at this time even though Humorama itself was well into its reprint period. We've seen some other issues of Jackpot but no other spankings are known.

We've avoided discussing the artist until now because first, we don't know who he is (we'll call him "Hill" based on what we can make out of his signature to facilitate the discussion), and second, he's the artist who did the three remaining Humorama "spankers" we haven't posted because we only have very bad scans of them from E-bay. Now, those three cartoons are all rough imitations of three "spankers" by Bill Wenzel (later Humorama period), and his style is an imitation of Wenzel's as well, although the resemblance is less obvious here. (You can see it best in the way the spankee's bosom is drawn if you compare it to Wenzel's late Humorama work, e.g. Marriage Counsellor #4, or you can wait for us to get around to presenting side-by-side examples once we finally get our hands on those last three cartoons).

Hill may have found he could sell spanking cartoons to Humorama in 1974 when the three mentioned earlier first appeared and then figured he could try again later that year with Jackpot (and we have to wonder now if he based this one on another artist's presently-unknown "dog-paddling" cartoon), or he might have actually been the editor at Humorama in 1974 - a possibility we'll consider in more detail when we've actually got the three Humorama cartoons in our possession.
