I'm glad everyone liked this week's updates. Now for some specific follow-ups:
willjohn wrote:"Big Ben Bolt" always worried me. This strip was printed in 1960 and showed a white American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Could you imagine the reaction in the Southern States if the strip showed Flossy having her rump thumped by Floyd Patterson? Even the big Swede Ingemar Johannson would probably not have been white enough for the good ol' boys.

I think you're right,
willjohn, in that a black man spanking a white woman would have been controversial in the deep south at this time (1960). But comic-book publishers were typically low on guts, and Hollywood producers were even more craven, so that particular envelope never got pushed. In the
I Spy spanking I posted a few months ago, you'll note it was Robert Culp and not Bill Cosby who spanked Mary Jane Saunders off-camera, and all the spankings from comic books and strips that I can think of were white on white. Probably a black on black spanking would have been o.k.
The legitimate theatre was far superior morally and artistically to Hollywood, and there we had interracial romance at about the same time as the
Big Ben Bolt episode in the musical
No Strings (also No Spanking, alas). Had Richard Kiley spanked Diahann Carroll on stage in New York instead of only kissing her, I don't think it would have been too controversial. It would be interesting to know how a black/white spanking would have been received.

I just don't enjoy the F/F as much as M/F.

As I have said before, I like F/F (and can do totally without ever seeing F/M and M/M).
The overwhelming preference among
CSR readers is for M/F material with F/F being viewed as acceptable or moderately enjoyable but not as much as M/F, I view I both share and understand. However, I do have some obligations to F/M and even M/M fans, and also some responsibility as the sole possessor among spankos (in some cases) of rare F/M and M/M items to get these out there where those who are interested can see them, even though the rest of us aren't interested.
I'm rather proud, for example, of being the discoverer of four out of the five known
Mary Marvel F/M spankings, although of course I wish they had featured Mary on the receiving end.
My policy at this point is not to post
M/M items unless a costumed hero is involved, and not to post
F/M items unless it's either a superheroine or the material is in some way exceptional (for instance, a historical curiosity or very rare item). Both M/M and F/M will have warning labels, a practice suggested by
Dan Rivera. I have no M/M stuff left in the files (to be posted) I'm glad to say, but I do have some F/M Humorama cartoons that will be posted on 10/28 for
Halloween Horror week. They will not be part of the ongoing
Humorama Series and will be segregated and labeled at the bottom of the Humor Gallery. I'm doing these because it still strikes me as incredible that
Wenzel and
Stiles ever did any F/M stuff (
Ward is less surprising because his late work featured this orientation).

You mentioned model Diane Weber. You may know she was an advocate of naturism back in the day. I believe she even has a Yahoo group in her honor.
Now that would be art well-worth seeing- a nudist getting a spanking, perhaps when she insisted on going naked somewhere it was prohibited.
And thanks for the Alexandra Tydings shot. Like you say, too bad she never got the chastisement of Venus treatment.
Another one even more spankable on the Hercules show as fitness model Cory Everson who played Atalanta- and wore a costume that exposed her entire bottom. If you run a picture of her people will know what I mean. It was impossible to watch an episode where she appeared and not long and long for her to be given a really sound spanking.
Yes, I knew that
Diane Weber (a/k/a Marguerite Empey) was a naturist - it must have added a little excitement to her pin-up photos back in the day for the men looking at them to know she had no inhibitions regarding taking her clothes off and parading around
au naturel at some nudist colony. I've got some pictures of her in my Humorama digests, but rather than go through them just now I scrounged up this picture of her so everyone else can see what she looked like:

And while we're in visual mode, let's take a look at
Cory Everson also:

I see what you mean about her being spankable! I don't think you'll get any arguments from anyone on this board.

i went back to school at Purdue university in the spring of 1972. across the street from the north east corner of the campus there was an electronics shop which had a big sign in the window. the sign said something like this, Texas Instruments SR-10. will add, subtract, multiply, divide and take percents and square roots. $149.95" i had a slide rule of course
And finally, some thoughts on the slide rule: I had one myself back in the 70's. I recently got rid of my old SR-55 calculators (I probably should have sold them on e-bay) but I still have a working TI-30 from 1977.
