hi web-ed,
it is faster for me to do pics in a series because all the characters and the scenes are already set up and saved once i get going. i usually start from a previous pic and go from there so part of the work of posing the characters is already done. i also have poses and expressions saved that i can apply with a click which also give me a good starting point. the other part is that i have discovered more efficient ways of doing things as i have done more toons too. being retired helps too

. it's a labor of love too so that is always good motivation.

I think I mentioned in an earlier post here for the benefit of those who have never used them that thin, "paint-stick" paddles can be surprisingly stingy - of course they tend to be made of hardwood and are heavier than a true paint stirrer - and what a surprise they are the first time your spankee feels one! Jennifer will soon be prancing around just like the girls, much to our delight.

And I see your signature has been promoted to a place of honor upon the mantle.
they can indeed be surprisingly stingy

. i have seen pics of the type of paddle used here but have never actually held one but they do appear to be a bit heavier than an paint stirring stick. Jennifer will indeed be prancing around soon while Andrew uses the paddle to encourage her to do so

i have never actually seen a lady prancing to the paddle but i will do the best i can to portray the scenes that have been described to me.

It is very difficult for spankos to find suitable partners. I think the big problem is that we're probably only about 1% of the population (that's just my guess as there is no reliable figure), which means that right off the bat, 99% of all the persons of the opposite sex that you meet are unsuitable! By the time you have eliminated the real kooks and those who are just incompatible personality-wise, you're not left with much. And to make things even more difficult, because we spankos don't have signs hanging around our necks, it's very difficult to tell us apart from the non-spankos. Of course, we males could announce our spanko status by swatting every adult female we meet on the bottom something like the way James Garner did in The Americanization of Emily, but that would get us in a lot of trouble very fast! (Julie Andrews slapped him, but except for that, Garner didn't have too many problems in the movie. I wouldn't count on it going that smoothly in real life, however).
you are right of course, about it being difficult to find a suitable spanking partner. however, you have to wonder about some folks you occasionally see in public. my wife and i were leaving a home and garden show which, of course, had lots of cheap give aways. we were walking behind a young couple when he swatted her bottom with an advertising yard stick

. i couldn't hear what was said but i can tell you that she did thrust her bottom forward and there was plenty of giggling

. you are also right about getting in trouble if you go around swatting young ladies on the bottom. there were a couple of weak moments in my younger days when i have gotten in trouble for such activities. fortunately these were girls i knew and they were still plenty pissed although they got over it. today they would probably have had me shot or hung after torture

I've heard of something called "bondage jewelry" - maybe what we need is "spanko jewelry" to help us recognize each other - something that looks innocent to the vanilla world but has meaning to us (I think that lets out my first idea, which was a paddle with crossed palms).
this sounds like a good idea and i like your idea about the paddle and crossed palms

. thanks, phil
