Weekly Updates

hi web-ed,

i keep marveling at just how difficult it is for you to keep bringing us these updates and how much time it takes. i really appreciate it that you continue to do this for us....not to mention all the time you take doing the searches . i enjoyed looking at the "brute" spanking again . she behaves like a brat to get a spanking and she gets it. there's an old saying among spankees, 'be careful what you wish for, you might get it" it's interesting that you found a french version, here at CSR you find every one there is . you mentioned in your comments with your earlier post that "Joe Gill is correct in his understanding of female psychology - women are attracted to "take charge" types who act boldly (of course, this is also the type of man who gives spankings)". there is also another point here and that is that such a woman as depicted in this comic, realizes what they want and will do whatever it takes to get it............in this case, a spanking to return our hero to his "brute" status ...........even if it did hurt more than she had imagined . all this actually fits nicely with the story by MD. again we have a woman who realizes what she wants and finds a way to get it with the help of a "take charge" man. he brings out feelings in her that she had buried deeply long ago. in both cases, the woman gets what she wants in the form of such a man! in the story, we have an added factor of the woman's psychology because she is a strong woman who is used to being in charge in a high stress job. however, there are times when she needs someone else to be in charge and indeed to be in charge of her. she needs a man to secretly take control away from her and what better way than a spanking . of course, in both cases, the sex afterward just reinforces his dominance. good start to romantic spanking month . thanks, phil

hi web-ed,

Thanks, Phil. I have gone into more explanations recently than I usually do (at least I hope I don't usually go on that long ), and it's not because I'm looking for sympathy, I just want everyone to understand why I'm not able to produce more right now. Some readers, especially if they joined around 2009-2010, might remember that I was doing 3 or even 4 updates per week, while at the same time designing and building the data bases for comics and Humorama spanking cartoons, installing this bulletin board, and on top of that searching 1000 pages of Golden Age comics per day! The circumstances that allowed me to devote that kind of time to CSR were pretty much unique: out of work but not yet out of money, and with job searching taking only a few hours per day.

It's a lot harder now with my businesses taking up most of my time and family matters taking up the rest, so after doing the regular maintenance work to keep the site and bulletin board up I've very little time to devote to searches and updates. But I'm determined to continue and want to do at least something every week. I do think that Romantic Spanking Month is getting off to a good start, and I still plan to segue right into the Rivals of Humorama Series beginning in March which I think everyone will find very interesting.

HI WEB-ED CSR!!! GREAT work finding the French version of Just Married #53 The Taming Of The Brute can`t understand why it called that when it the bratty Bride that being Tamed the otk is good and the bride who is skinny have a nice round bottom and good breasts also the cover is great !with the bride looking real unhappy at her Wedding! she needed a good spanking GREAT Spanking in Comic Glad to see a new story! A Lesson In Manners now the story is GOOD ( But)''''' I believe the heroine should have been older. no offence to the young woman but I think an older mature woman would have made it more exciting next now this is my opinion I`m not a big fan of stories where women want a man to take charge and spanked them I think there plenty of women who might want a man to spank them deep down but wouldn`t dwell on it all day after hearing some guy say she need a good spanking now like I said this is my opinion but I rather prefer Monica to have more fight into her love stories where the woman pushes the guy until he give her what she needs plus if she was older it would add some humiliation to it! nothing better than seeing a 40 something woman being spanked like a 5 year old over some man lap anyway the Story is GOOD but I was hoping for a little more excitement! THANKS!!

Romantic Spanking Month Continues!

O.K., I have an embarrassing admission to make. Last week I intimated we'd be seeing updates from two romance comics spanking pages this week, but when I looked at Range Romances #2, I realized I'd already done the update three years ago ! So to avoid having only one update, I did another "Missed Opportunities" post with material drawn mainly from romance comics. At least the other update is still pretty exciting as it's another of those "mystery spankings" I was finally able to identify after years of searching . Here we go:

• Let's take a look at five examples of Missed Opportunities in Romance Comics under a different topic here on the CSR Forum.
• We revisit a romance comic book spanking from Just Married #94. This was a mystery spanking scene that appeared on the web years ago and which I was recently able to identify, and of course we now have new scans to place the scene in context.

Next Week: Romantic Spanking Month continues as we revisit True Brides Experiences #16 and reveal a brand-new, never-before-seen spanking from the special feature section of a romance comic!

Romantic Spanking Month Continues!

Yay!

Let's take a look at five examples of Missed Opportunities in Romance Comics under a different topic here on the CSR Forum.

In the Alley Oop one, it's not really clear what he's actually threatening to do... but I'd sure like to think Oola had a spanking to look forward to. (And, of course, if that was my story, she'd wear that outfit again and again and get spanked for it every time!)

And I liked the third "missed opportunity" too. An over the shoulder carry is fun to see... but an over the shoulder carry with a few swats along the way would've been even better! Recently there was a nice over the shoulder carry with at least one swat in a movie called Bounty Hunter starring Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston.

And the last one... perfect chance and he blew it! "I ought to spank you..." (Yes, he ought to!) "...But since this seems to make you madder--" I suppose that on the next page he kissed her again, which would make sense... but it would be even better if he'd kiss her AFTER spanking her!

We revisit a romance comic book spanking from Just Married #94. This was a mystery spanking scene that appeared on the web years ago and which I was recently able to identify, and of course we now have new scans to place the scene in context.

I've seen the single panel floating around the internet for a long time, and sometimes the one immediately following, with Mrs. Brant demurely declining an invitation to dance, and it's great to see some context to this spanking. Thanks for your diligence in finding that one!

Maybe the wife wasn't entirely at fault, since her husband sure seemed to be flirting with the bikini-clad neighbor... Nevertheless, the spanking seemed to help them fix whatever problems they'd been having in their relationship, and the finale shows them in a loving embrace! Now that's the kind of romanitic spanking I really like!

hi web-ed,

i enjoyed being irritated at the missed opportunities . in the Alley Oop comic, it would have been great if he had done more than just threaten Ooola since it seems clear, at least to me, that he did indeed have spanking her in mind . it looks to me like she was thinking spanking too and i did enjoy seeing her hurrying off to change with a rather submissive, apprehensive expression on her face . she wasn't sure he would spank her but she wasn't taking any chances . i think you are entirely right that we have the right to expect a spanking for a character called "the brat" . in the comic from ten story love, i like the way she is looking at him holding her arm as he threatens to spank her . i have to figure that she was wondering if he really would spank her.........and probably secretly hoping he would .

in the just married spanking, i thought the comment you made in your original post, "but examples like this one are positively salutary in our view, demonstrating the proper role of the sexes with the concerned husband very much in control. We might hope that teenage girls reading this comic would learn to treat their future husbands with proper respect, and to accept caring discipline as part of married life." , was right on the money . i liked your comments about the artwork on the cover and how it came to be............very interesting. just for your edification, i did indeed notice that you had figured out the publisher and the dates for this before you were able to verify it . anyway, your latest update on this is really great! you have found the exact issue and given us most of the story, which is great as we've mentioned many times. the spanking scene is great with a good OTK position and i like the surprised and apprehensive look on her face and the look of confidence and satisfaction on his face . i like the next drawing almost as much with her tamed, submissive stance and and her expression of a well chastised young lady on her face . of course, he really should have raised her skirt and lowered her panties for the spanking but i guess that would be too much to hope for . really good updates this week . thanks, phl

HI WEB-ED CSR!! Miss Opportunities make me how can you name a story The Brat and not have a spanking in it? wished that Ooola would have been all bratty and kept the outfit on daring Oop to spank her how much better do anyone think comics would have been without The comic code??? more spankings also think female heroines such as Wonder Woman would have been more buxom plus more skimpy outfits The over the knee in Just Married # 94 is perfect like how he is holding Diane`s waist to keep her in place if only she had a plumper bottom Spanking in Romance comics are GREAT !!! not only does the hero Warm their ladies Hearts they also warm their bottoms Super Spanking THANKS!!!!

Alley Oop Romantic? I wonder what the Hollywood Argyles would have thought of that?

Alley Oop Romantic? I wonder what the Hollywood Argyles would have thought of that?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz61pmmYSXA

Alas, the linked video is now unavailable. And you're right to raise the point that Alley Oop was certainly not in the romance genre, although at least Oop and Ooola were romantically involved. I had to stretch the point even further with the example from Big Shot #81, but then again I was forced to pull this one together in a very short time and I did the best I could.

Romantic Spanking Month Continues!

• We revisit a romance comic book spanking from True Brides Experiences #16. We have a new scan of the splash page of this admittedly mediocre story.
• We unveil a never-before-seen spanking from the special features section of First Love #17!

I imagine this is the last time I'm going to update the True Brides Experiences #16 page - it's the least of The Seven Spankings (as I have dubbed them - the comic-book spankings that were known to a few of us by the late 70's), and at this point I think we've seen all the scans we'll ever need to. I'm still looking for a copy of Teen-Age Brides #1, where the spanking story first appeared, but unless there's something terribly different there I don't see any need to add even more scans of the same thing to the page.

With First Love #17, we come to the first of two romance comic spankings I discovered since last February. It's an odd scene because it comes not from one of the regular stories in the book but in a special feature, "Strange Romantic Customs" (that is, around the world. It's not the greatest scene either, but as readers who have seen my monthly spanking search reports will know, despite going through thousands of pages of romance comics the past year I haven't found much else. (As an aside, a lot of scans became available recently, and of course I'm looking through them diligently for new spanking treasures).

Romance comics were extremely popular in the 50's, slightly less so in the 60's, then began tapering off in the 70's (though we must always remember that many spankings in the Charlton romance books are from that last full decade for the genre). They were the target of occasional satire, for example in an early issue of MAD, and in the underground title Young Lust.


Young Lust #3, formerly and briefly from my collection before I threw it out in disgust last week, so I can't give you the exact date - probably '72 or '73. Cover art by Bill Griffith. Copyright Last Gasp.

I always hated the undergrounds, although they were cherished by pseudo-sophisticates in the era prior to alternative comics (say 1970-1985, or roughly corresponding to the Bronze Age of comics - coincidence?). They tended to be thoroughly vile, although the two or three issues of Young Lust I remember could be occasionally amusing as they parodied the cliches of the romance genre when they weren't plain disgusting. The undergrounds were pornographic, violent, and anti-American; they were part of the counterculture, and like so much else that is truly awful, they came from the 1960's. I'm not sure why that's on my mind right now, except that at some point I'm going to attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of the 1950's, perhaps when I finally get around to my History of the Spanking Cartoon.

Next Week: Romantic Spanking Month concludes as we revisit the spanking of a self-admitted shrew in Popular Teen-Agers #14 and reveal a brand-new, never-before-seen spanking from the advice column of a romance comic! You won't want to miss it!

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

i can see why you aren't going to post any more different scans of the true brides #16 spanking . it's interesting that most of the time, you are searching for more and better scans and you have so many on this one. i also thought it was interesting that the spanking inside was so awkward with the spanker on one knee and holding the spankee at an impossible angle while on the cover page, the OTK position is pretty good with her solidly over his lap, head down, bottom up and legs kicking. i don't think i understand why they would use 2 different drawings? do you think those are done by different artists? also, what happened to the second spanking panel that you show in your 9/24/2010 update where the spankee is saying "put me down you---you brute! put me down!"? if i understand what you were saying, that panel was missing from the original version and added for a later one??? i'm confused. i am also curious about the spankee's hair in the splash page. the way she is positioned, her hair should be hanging down but instead every hair is perfectly in place. is that just a lot of hair spray or is that just a time saving device used by the artist? .

i have to say that the spanking from first love 17 wasn't at all what i was expecting . still, it's a comic spanking and while this isn't very erotic, i did enjoy the surprised expression on the spankee's face and the rather evil look of determination on the spanker's face . good updates this week . thanks, phil

First, about First Love #17, I can understand that everyone would be a little disappointed. I too would prefer to have a nice OTK scene in the middle of a love story, which is what we expect in a romance comic. Alas, this is all we were able to get this time. Next week we will have a slightly more conventional spanking scene, although it too in a way is part of a special feature and not a regular story.

I'm truly sorry about all the confusion regarding Teen-Age Brides #1/True Brides Experiences #16. The basic problem is that I have never had either a physical copy or a complete set of scans from either book! The latest addition, the full splash from TBE#16, is a scan I found somewhere but without the rest of that book! The other scans are from TAB#1, and I believe Spirit used those for his embellished versions.

As to why they used two different drawings, that was simply the way the writer must have laid out the story - the spanking used in the splash page as well as on the later page. It's the same artist.

In the "Put me down, you brute!" panel, as far as I know it appeared in both versions. The confusion here stems from the fact that Spirit put different pages together into a sort of collage, and that is what I used in that 9/24/2010 update. One spanking panel, the one with the single pain star and the caption reading "I lived a lifetime of agony" appears only in this collage - and I still have no idea what page it came from! Between all these examples, though, I think we've seen every panel in which the spanking is depicted. That's why I probably won't update this page yet again if I finally get my hands on a copy of either book unless there's something truly startling there, like another panel depicting the spanking.

[butch46163@yahoo.com]

Hi WEB-ED CSR!!! You truly take your spankings from comics seriously there is a lot of confusions in both comics but they both got Great Spankings in them Too bad there wasn`t a lot about spanking in First Love 17 Strange Customs only one can`t say much about making the woman put the spanking stick through her lips afterward but the man does have the right to spanked his wife when needed a custom I think should still be in play today anyway I wish they would have talked more about marriage discipline from around the World Great Comic and loved the Spanking Scene of the Tribal woman What up with the guy crying and promising to never spank his wife again she not complaining the cover page is Hot! good over the knee action that it wasn`t the same in the comic like how he carried her down to spank her in front of her parents Spirit did a good job on this comic ! HOT HOT HOT thanks!

Romantic Spanking Month Continues!

Yay! Romantic spankings are my favorite!

We revisit a romance comic book spanking from True Brides Experiences #16. We have a new scan of the splash page of this admittedly mediocre story.

It's not one of my favorites, but I'm glad you were able to find a high-resolution scan of the splash panel, along with some more publishing history.

We unveil a never-before-seen spanking from the special features section of First Love #17!

Hmm! I like the way the girl is drawn, but I'm not a big fan of switches... especially when she has to wear the switch afterwards! I'm guessing that the women of the tribe must already have pierced lips, but... EW! Maybe it's so that the man always has his punishment implement close at hand... but still... EW! Here's a modified version of the spanking that has the man using his bare hand on his woman's bare butt.

And a different caption too. She likes it better, I like it better, and I hope you will too.

hi Web-ed.

thanks for the answers to my questions. i see now why it's all so confusing. i guess everything would have been clear if we just had the actual comic books these came from. no wonder it's so difficult to get this stuff figured out.

Boom,

thanks for the new version of the strange romantic customs drawing. i like your version way better . thanks, phil

Thanks, b00m! I like your version much better as it's much sexier and isn't burdened by that rather strange custom of wearing the switch afterwards (I pretended she was just carrying the switch in her mouth). I've added it to the page .

Romantic Spanking Month concludes as we revisit the spanking of a self-admitted shrew in Popular Teen-Agers #14 and reveal a brand-new, never-before-seen spanking from the advice column of a romance comic! For links to this week's updates please go to the Home Page by clicking on "Chicago Spanking Review" at the top of this or any other Forum page.

• We revisit a romance comic book spanking from Popular Teen-Agers #14. We have lots of new scans from this superior (and not very well known) example of romance comic spanking.
• A brat gets her just desserts and reforms her bratty ways after she gets her seat warmed in the special features section of Young Romance #25. This is a brand-new, never-before-seen OTK spanking!

I decided to pull the "Blast from the Past" feature from the Home Page as it turned out to be an awful lot of trouble just to link to old material. The only reason it was there is that I used to have a picture of Chicago up there for some reason and I didn't want to replace it with nothing - but nothing is easier, and of course all the old material is still there.

Next Week: If we can manage to get it together, we begin an exciting new series, Rivals of Humorama, in which we look at some spanking cartoons from Humorama's rival publications. Most of these were inferior to Humorama's best, and there weren't that many of them but they're all interesting and they do include the oldest known (at this time) secretary spanking cartoon. If you love the Humorama spanking cartoons, you won't want to miss any of these !

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

first off, the spanking in popular teen-agers #14 was a good story as well as having good art . i think all of us here at CSR love a story where a headstrong young brat gets a good spanking . btw, i couldn't help but notice that our spankees name is Carla Bartly when perhaps it should have been Carla BRATly . i like the drawings of the 2 spanking pages. both give us a good looking spankee and a reasonable OTK position. it seems to be to be a pretty exciting spanking that really adds to the story line. as usual, i enjoyed all the historical information about this one as well as your speculation about just who drew what. i don't really understand all the "technical" stuff you talk about such as penciling and inking but i do have some observations. i have to wonder if the splash page was drawn by the same artist that drew the strip. if you look at the splash page, it appears to be of a higher quality than the rest of it all the way around. of course, that could be just because the artist had more room to work with there but there are some differences i would like to point out. the splash page has captured the action of the scene much better in my opinion. it's obvious that her legs are kicking, her hair is all out of place and her dress is flying around...........even the position of her hands indicates to me that she is feeling this spanking. in the spanking panel within the story, she seems to just be lying there with every hair in place and her dress right where it should be. she might be kicking some but with her dress just lying there, it's pretty hard to tell. on the splash page, the faces are much clearer. she is obviously mad but also astonished and he just looks determined. on the spanking panel in the story, there seems to be just enough detail in the faces to give an impression.........both of them look pissed. last, i really don't think the people in the story look all that much like the people on the splash page. in any case, it's a really good comic spanking . the only problem i have with the spanking on the splash page is that the spanker's left hand seems too big..........kind of like the incredible hulk .

i thought your information about the consultants hired for the advice columns was really interesting...........i had no idea about this. of course, not having ever been a teen aged girl, i guess there isn't any reason that i would have . the young romances #25 is, again, just the kind of story we like although it would have been better had her spanker also been romantically involved with the spankee. i do like the drawing but i also have a problem with his arms, which to me, look out of scale with each other. i also agree with you that her bottom should have been better defined and probably would have with the kind of silky material that it appears her dress is made of. Still, not a bad spanking scene. more interesting information about the history of all this . good updates and i'm looking forward to rivals of humorama next week. thanks, Phil

[butch46163@yahoo.com]

HI WEB-ED CSR As much as I love the spanking in Popular Teenagers #14 you got the notice the different from the cover page and the one in the comic first off the spankee on the cover page is wearing a short sleeve blouse and in the comic she`s wearing a long sleeve jacket also on the cover page it look as though she is over one knee with her head laying on the other the comic page she position just right All in all this is A Classic Comic Spanking !!! GREAT! You would be surprise that a female advice columnist would approve of a spanking of a young woman! WOW! have time change the otk in this one is much better too bad the artist like you said didn`t drew a line parting her buttocks like the artist did of Queen Pera who was also dressed in a clingy long gown being spanked by Jorge in The Phantom nice Rear something about these Teen Romance comics Women want a strong man to spank them when they are bratty and it still true today read some of them romance novels THANKS!

Romantic Spanking Month concludes.

Awwww! Even though I'm looking forward to the next feature... I hate to see Romantic Spanking Month end! But then, Overbarrel will probably continue to contribute some lovely romantic spankings, no matter what month it is!

• We revisit a romance comic book spanking from Popular Teen-Agers #14. We have lots of new scans from this superior (and not very well known) example of romance comic spanking.

I Was a Shrew... what a great title, and what a great opportunity to work a spanking into the story! I agree with Phil that the splash panel was better than the spanking in the actual story... You could see the motion there! If it hadn't been for the comic code, and the fact that this particular comic book was most likely marketed to young girls... it would've been fun to see Peter raise Carla's skirt! And he threatened to spank her again if she didn't "act like a lady"! I could easily imagine Steve and Carla's lives as the years progress... I think she'd be likely to give him more reasons to spank her in the future!

• A brat gets her just desserts and reforms her bratty ways after she gets her seat warmed in the special features section of Young Romance #25. This is a brand-new, never-before-seen OTK spanking!

WOW! A never-before-seen Romance Comic spanking! And it was a nice drawing... not perfect, but very nice! The way the folds in Sharon's skirt were drawn, it suggests a soft, thin, silky material... so that she probably felt the impact of Don's hand quite keenly! (Plus the added benefit that Don probably savored the feel of Sharon's cute round bottom too! )

The girls in both stories were guilty of some really bratty behavior, and needed to be taught a lesson or two. And both of them seemed to have taken their lessons to heart. And... in the best tradition of romantic spankings, they each fell in love with the men who spanked them, to live happily ever after! A great ending to Romantic Spanking Month!
