Good Marks

[overbarrel49]

I keep getting things wrong. Sorry. But you gotta admit, in panel 41 the words "About Noon the Next Day" are almost obscured in the shadows. I thought it was happening the same day.

Hi Dan,

I don't expect everyone to keep up with the details of the story as well as I do. I have to in order to keep the story running congruously but even at that, I still make mistakes and have to look back at previous pics to make sure I have things right. Don't worry about missing things. It's not a problem, especially in this long and complex story .

By the way: Some of the things these girls are saying to each other sound mean."Yes, I DID cause Walt to spank you! After the shitty way you treated him!""I didn't think just getting a spanking was enough punishment for you, but I recorded it and now everyone on campus has seen Walter spanking you! HAHAHAHA!"Help me out here... is this REALLY the way girls talk among themselves?Gullible Dan

I wish I had a definitive answer for your question. Since I have never been invited to sit in on one of these sessions, I really don't have enough facts to say for sure . This is just the way it plays out in my mind. I have to figure that jealousy, even between friends, would cause them to say some things to each other that might sound mean to us. It's actually pretty mean to make fun of your friend who is getting a spanking but that happened in this toon too . As far as the content of what was discussed, one of my spankee friends has assured me those are the kinds of things that would be talked about between close friends. However, I have a hunch that you are right in this case and some of the things that have been said are a bit over the top. In the case of Xandra and Barb, I don't think they are close friends and there has been at least some disapproval of each other between them. As you can see, I am talking here but saying nothing . That's because I don't know for sure. Sorry, Phil

[overbarrel49]

I haven't had a lot of time to log on lately, hence, not many comments... but I had to say a couple of things about your latest pic, and where the story seems to be going.I'm glad to see Barb back in the story, and I hope we'll get to see her cute bottom warmed!

Hi Boom,

It's good to see you back posting again . There are lots of people who wanted to see Barb getting a spanking, for one reason or another, which is why I brought her back. Her story is next .

I didn't agree with some of your other fans who thought she should've been punished for "ratting out" Xandra. Telling Walter what Xandra was up to seemed completely justified to me. Xandra may resent her friend setting her up to get a sore butt, but that's better than letting her keep up what she was doing and risk flunking out of school!

I agree with you there and as we move forward, we will be exploring just what Phil, her boyfriend, thinks about all this since it's really up to him whether she gets spanked or not and what for . I also agree that getting a spanking is better for Xandra than flunking out of school.......not to mention better than having her boyfriend break up with her .

However... I really wanted to see Barb get spanked for SOMETHING... ANYTHING, with such a nice target!Yummy! I looked back to the early part of your story and saw that panel 014 showed a delicious view of Barb's rear end in those really tight jeans! If I was her boyfriend, I'd think of a reason to spank her, even if she wasn't naughty! And now it looks as if the Facebook posting might give him an excuse to turn her over his knee! Mmmmm!

Like I said, there are lots of folks who want to see Barb getting a spanking for some reason . Just stay tooned . Thanks, Phil

Let's face it. Overbarrel U is more Spankatorium than Sorbonne. Scholarship does not come into it.

Are you sure about the panel number? Number 014 shows Barb in her pants outfit, but she is facing us, and we have no view of her backside. Did you mean number 35?

Hey, it looks like Barb has changed clothes. Back on the lounge, while her roommate Xandra was getting soundly walloped by Walter, Barb was seen in a pants outfit. Now that Xandra's spanking is over with, Barb joins Xandra and Anna wearing what looks like a blue-and-white minidress.

Scusi mi, but doesn't that suggest that Barb is setting HERSELF up for a spanking? To all you fellow spankers out there: Isn't it MUCH easier to spank a girl who's wearing a skirt that can be lifted, rather than long pants that take a while to wiggle out of?

Cheers,
Dan

Yes, it certainly seems that way to me too, Dan, and of course everyone around here has wanted to see Barb get her fanny warmed since, oh, about the first panel of this story .

We might assume O.U. was just like any other modern American university, except with spanking. On the other hand, I'd like to think it might be a bit better...

You may not be familiar with the sorry state of American universities these days, willjohn, and I hope things haven't degenerated quite as far in your own Australia. Many of our students seem to be these delicate little snowflakes who get traumatized by being exposed to any new or contrary ideas - they've been setting up so-called "safe spaces" where they can go to never be challenged intellectually. One professor postponed his final exam in November because he thought the election had left his students in such a state of shock they couldn't handle the test.

It's funny, but long ago when I could still find work (need I add this was before the advent of the administration preceding the current one?) I was expected to actually fix the company's information systems when they broke in the middle of the night rather than waiting for someone to hold my hand and tell me how special I was. These kids are going to be a great help in the real world some day when an unexpected situation arises - which these schools must figure will never happen - and they're expected to actually solve the problem and not just sit in a corner crying. You used to be a police officer years ago - can you imagine the public safety depending on this emotionally fragile bunch? Let's hope they don't try to join law enforcement or the fire department.

I'd say these students really need someone to apply an Overbarrel U. paddle to their on-so-precious backsides! And these schools need their "safe spaces" converted into the "spanking spaces" which probably already exist at O.U. In short, they'd be improved by taking Overbarrel U. as a model !

My daughter got her degree a few years ago by distance learning while working full time. Most Australians who get University degrees have to work hard for it.

If you go to lectures you go into a hall, the lecturer gives his lectures & it is up to you to take notes or do your own research. Not many live on the campus unless their families live in rural areas.

Hi Willjohn,

Interesting comments. When I was at Purdue University in the early 70s it as pretty much the same with the lectures. The professors just put the information out there and you had to take it from there, although, there were usually TAs to help if you were having trouble. I think things have probably changed in the U S since then too. College is so expensive that many are working online or at least living off campus. When I was a freshmen, I was required to live in a dorm by the university. I don't know if that's he case now or not. I do know that there are still a lot of Kids living on campus in dorms, frats or sororities. One of the bands in which I play trumpet is the Hanover college band. Hanover is a pretty expensive college in Hanover, Indiana. Anyway, I see the kids out and about while I driving through the campus plus I have gotten to know some of them who are in the band. Thanks, Phil

Hi everyone,

When I was in High school I was very pleased with myself for the way that I handled my relationship with my girlfriend and how I took charge when she behaved badly, which often meant giving her a spanking . It wasn't until long after we broke up that I began to suspect that most of those spanking situations had actually transpired according to HER pre conceived and well thought out plan......and that included letting me think that everything was my idea. It seemed like it was all my idea at the time . In any case, it was all good, horny fun for both of us ! Now I have to wonder if she discussed these spankings with her close friends and if they knew what her plans were in advance and discussed how well they had worked afterward? In today's pic, we see that college girls might just do the same thing if it suits their purpose. I hope you enjoy the new pic. Phil

Xandra says to Barb:

"You mean you ASKED Phil to spank you?!?!? WHY would you DO that??!?!"

My question is, WHY would Xandra even question that? In the fun, playful ambiance of this story, it seems to me that this group of coeds all get (and sometimes give) spankings all the time. So it's not much of a stretch to guess that this sort of thing is normal, among their group.

In my youth (about a hundred years ago) I was part of a group where guys would spank their girlfriends at the drop of a hat, and usually the girls laughed and giggled about it. Of course the "spankings" were pretty tame stuff, so nobody complained too much, even if the girls were spanked in front of an audience. In your story here ("Good Marks") the spankings seem to be pretty severe when they are given; but as we can see, the ladies have a good time TALKING to their friends later on, about their "ordeals."

That's why it seems odd to me that Xandra questions Barb about it.

Earlier, you wrote: "As you can see, I am talking here but saying nothing." And now you've got me doing it.

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I think Xandra questioned that because this was her first spanking from her boyfriend and she hasn't yet figured out the flood of emotions that inundated her during the spanking, as well as after the spanking . That's what got her and Anna talking about it to begin with. Anna correctly guessed that Xandra was confused about all her conflicting emotions. She hasn't yet figured out that getting a spanking from Walter can be both something to dread and something to relish .

I have given a few swats for play in front of others and any time I gave her a playful spanking she did laugh and giggle and her friends or relatives laughed, giggled and egged me on during the spanking I do think she discussed these with her girlfriends just as she might have discussed any other sexual foreplay. Many of the spankings I gave her were punishment for naughty behavior and most of them were either over panties or on her bare bottom so none of those were in public. At the time I assumed that if I spanked her publicly, she would probably have never talked to me again............although I don't actually know that for sure. I don't know if she discussed these spankings with her girlfriends or not but it always seemed reasonable to me. After all, there is a sexual component to a spanking even if it's being given as punishment and I know the girls did discuss other things of a sexual nature. In either case, it happens at Overbarrel U .

That's why it seems odd to me that Xandra questions Barb about it. Earlier, you wrote: "As you can see, I am talking here but saying nothing." And now you've got me doing it. Cheers,Dan

Good deal! Now I'm not alone . Thanks, Phil

[willjohn]

Does this mean Barb's spanking is (ahem! ) "behind" her so it will go sight unseen?

Hi Willjohn,

Geez!......I wouldn't do that to you . Anna's spanking was behind her too and we got to see her getting spanked . Just stay tooned . Thanks, Phil

[web-ed]

More girl-gabbing here, but since the subject is spanking it isn't boring to us guys like most girl talk is . There's some nice anticipatory build-up to what I assume will be Barb telling the other girls about her recent spanking - I can't wait to see the illustrated version of this tale!

[willjohn]

All good fun. Thanks, Phil.

HI web-ed,

Coming right up . Thanks, Phil

Hi Willjohn,

I'm glad you're enjoying it . Next week the conversation continues with Barb telling her friends exactly what happened . Thanks, Phil

[overbarrel49]

Hi everyone,

Now we come to the part where Barb has to tell Phil that she is responsible for the vids of Xandra's spanking getting posted on face book .......no doubt a nervous time for her ! I hope you enjoy the new pic. Phil

knowing she's gonna get it!

When I do these pics, I always do a plain version, with no words on it, because I have had requests for these plain pics from viewers. Normally, I just post the full version here but, because I apparently planned this one poorly and there is an absurd amount of the pic covered by words, I am going to post the plain pic too. Besides, I know Dan is a leg man so I figured I'd better give him a good look at Barb's legs . Phil

Check out the legs, Dan.

Nice legs, promise of things to come.

Flimsy knickers will not last for long.

[web-ed]

Oh yeah, those sheer panties provide very little protection from a spanking - besides, they'll be coming down before too long !

As for the words: well, here is the great limitation of the comics medium, which we've discussed before and I think here in your gallery - extended dialogue, Shakespearean soliloquies, etc. just don't work very well. You can manage them in prose, in classical drama, and if you're careful, in modern drama, but not in comics because each panel offers only so much space before you're stomping all over the visual elements. I remember when Will Eisner did Hamelt's famous soliloquy from Act III in comics form for a demonstration, he had to stretch it out over many panels, varying the character's posture the whole while, in order to make it work at all.

We even saw an example a few weeks ago, with the remake of "I Met My Master" as "A Man for Amy" where the second artist left less space at the top of some of his panels than Joe Maneely did in the earlier version, forcing the letterer to trim some of Stan Lee's dialogue. (Link here for reference).

It's a tough nut here, Phil, so I'll just say "thanks" for including the plain version for everyone to study.
