Weekly Updates

[web-ed]

Just three brief plugs before we get to the updates: As I mentioned last week, Hugob00m's new O.T. Katie series The Black Bird is going strong, and you won't want to miss it - see the Resident Artists Forum. And speaking of Resident Artists, Phil (Overbarrel) has managed to start a new series, An Alternate Proposal, despite some computer problems, and you'll want to check it out as well. Finally, with the end of the Humorama Series approaching , I asked myself the question, How Many More Humorama Cartoons Are Still Out There, only to answer it at my customary length. If you love the Humorama spanking cartoons, you'll probably be curious about this one.

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.

Humorama Series #152: The second of two cartoons Michael recently sent us, Diploma Spanking shows what happens when a pretty young female graduates from the School of Hard Knocks - at least in the imagination of Bill Ward!

Super-Spanking Summer III:

• Batman Family Series: an extremely unusual pairing from Mr. Jer as Captain Britain spanks a female Robin.
• Supergirl Series: there are probably times when Supergirl wishes she didn't have an older cousin, and this might be one of them as cousin Superman insists on spanking the daylights out of her no matter how hard she tries to resist.
• Wonder Girl Series: The second example where she's spanked by Wonder Woman, who's really an older version of herself in this case. The artist, Yatz, entitled it Wonder Woman Spanks Herself, and she's just the superheroine to take herself in hand and administer the necessary correction!

hi web-ed,

thanks to Michael for sending the Ward "diploma spanking" you mentioned that the dean gave her diploma to her in an unusual fashion and i have to agree. it appears to me the the dean is highly pleased with the form of presenting the diploma to her . i agree with most of your comments about this one and for the most part i think it's a well draw spanking. it does appear to me that her left leg is bigger than her right one though?? i too agree that a slide rule would be a better spanking implement than her diploma. i had to laugh at your comment that her expression reveals that she didn't think graduation would be anything like this it's a well drawn depiction by Ward for sure . thanks too for the speculation about the first printing of this one. as usual, i'll be eagerly waiting to see how close you are. now, for Captain Britain spanks Robin. i appreciate your explanation of this one since i had no idea there ever was a female Robin......and yes, i am mighty glad it's a female instead of Dick Grayson . i like the drawing, especially since it's so obvious that it's a good, sound punishment spanking which are my favorites . nice OTK position and i too like the expressions..........the determined and irritated look on his face and the very distressed look on her face as he blisters her bottom . the Captain certainly knows how to treat a naughty girl . the Superman/Supergirl spanking is considerably different than the last one both in content and style but i like it. Superman looks pissed to me so i assume he's really giving it to her good i like the OTK position and the way her skirt is pulled up but i can't help but wonder what happened to her panties. maybe Supes burned them off with his heat vision i thought Zani-alone did a good job of capturing the action in this one and i particularly like the way Superman is leaning as if he's really raring back on those swats . in the Wonder Woman/Wonder Girl i thought Yatz did a really fine job of drawing both girls . i wonder if the odd OTK position you mentioned wasn't caused by the way WW has her right leg up and the left one down. it seems to me that Yatz was trying to show off WWs form including her shapely legs. i'm betting that Dan will appreciate that part even if he doesn't like the F/F spanking . i like the look of pain on WGs face and the tear rolling down her cheek . overall i think this is a really good drawing although i might have had WW looking at WG during the spanking. it looks to me as if she's looking at something in the distance during this spanking. more good updates . thanks for doing it for us. phil

Humorama Series #152: The second of two cartoons Michael recently sent us, Diploma Spanking shows what happens when a pretty young female graduates from the School of Hard Knocks - at least in the imagination of Bill Ward!

This must be one of Bill Ward's earlier drawings. The expression on the man's face seems playful... not mean or angry like so many of the men's faces in later Ward works. And the ladies breasts are big enough to make her look sexy, instead of grotesquely disproportunate. As usual, The shading on the stockings is excellent! A diploma seems like an unlikely implement, but... I'm not going to complain about such a lovely young lady placed in an O.T. K. position, presumably in front of the whole auditorium... even if he's just using a rolled-up piece of paper.

Batman Family Series: an extremely unusual pairing from Mr. Jer as Captain Britain spanks a female Robin.

Captain Britain? Female Robin? I've never heard of those characters, but Mr. Jer draws them well, and she seems to be getting her bottom thoroughly reddened!

Supergirl Series: there are probably times when Supergirl wishes she didn't have an older cousin, and this might be one of them as cousin Superman insists on spanking the daylights out of her no matter how hard she tries to resist.

I only wish it was a lover and not a cousin who turns Supergirl over his knee. But who other than Superman is strong enough to get the "upper hand" on the Girl of Steel? Mon-El, perhaps?

Wonder Girl Series: The second example where she's spanked by Wonder Woman, who's really an older version of herself in this case. The artist, Yatz, entitled it Wonder Woman Spanks Herself, and she's just the superheroine to take herself in hand and administer the necessary correction!

Too bad it's F/F. I'd like to see something involving a male character from Greek myth, such as Hercules or Perseus.

HI WEB -ED CSR!!!!! Another Wonder Woman spanking herself drawing again sure would love to know what she have done in the past to deserve a spanking This drawing with is not as good as last week `s one is ok due to the Golden Age outfit they are wearing and she look like Lynda Carter The over the knee is good with young WW bottom up high should have been on the bare! I think this drawing could have been better if the Younger Wonder Woman was spanking the older one Nice drawing! Wow!!!! Supergirl must be a pretty naughty young lady to make her Cousin Superman keep spanking her Unlike the two from Mr. Jer this drawing is fine! Love the facial expression on Supergirl Superman on the other end is using all his Super power juding by the the look on his face is doing a good job of redding his cousin`s bottom nicely only flaw in this drawing is we only get a side view of Supergirl`s rear unlikr the full view in the other two drawings plus her bottom isn`t as plump the over one knee is great alone with the splashy color Would love to see Superman give both Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl a over the knees spanking at the same time! the same as Tim did in his Husband spank Wife Mistress drawing! Mr. Jer did a ggreat job With this Drawing Of Captain Britain spanking a female Robin Did she arrive after the death of Robin or when he became Nightwings Anyway this is a great drawing only wish it was in color like to see the color of both their outfits! the over the knees is great and Captain Britain have a good size hand to spank a bad female`s bottom with!Speaking of Captain Britain being he from Britain I would think he would more likely cane a girl than spank her Great drawing! Thanks again Micheal for another great find this one from Bill Ward Diploma Spanking Ward like in all his drawing show case the glamour girl!I also believe he have a fetish for long gloves being most of the women he draws is wearing them Love the otk shot with the girl`s lace panty bottom up high! nice plump tush she have! also like the look on the Professoer`s face telling he enjoying doing this! If this is the school of hard knocks The Professor should be spanking her with a hairbrush or small paddle than that paper diploma GREAT DRAWING!

I'll keep it short this week since I'm out of town, but the updates have been posted as usual due to the wonders of the laptop computer!

Humorama Series #153: We're not sure exactly what kind of surprise this young lady expected when she agreed to bend over and touch the floor, but we do know what kind she's going to get! This is the last of my Bill Ward cartoons, and I really love it because of the bending over position. But in art as it is in life, what we gain in one area we lose in another, and to get this position we have to give up the OTK one . It's a fine cartoon from Ward's middle period in the late 50's, though.

Super-Spanking Summer III:

• Batman Family Series: Last week Mr. Jer gave us an unusual pairing; this week it's the most natural one imaginable as Batman spanks Batgirl. More lovely M/F work from Mr. Jer.
• Supergirl Series: Remember the television series The Nanny? I don't think I ever saw a complete episode, but I seem to remember a spanking threat, and I might have become a fan of the show if Fran the nanny had ever delivered some spankings as she does here to Supergirl. (Or better, if she'd ever received some from the boss). Strange pairing from Archangemon.
• Wonder Girl Series: It's time to meet the third of the three Wonder Girls now (second chronologically) as Donna Troy gets spanked by Wonder Woman. This is the first of three Diana/Donna spankings we'll be seeing.

[butch46163@yahoo.com]

HI WEB-ED CSR!!! Sad to see this is the last Bill Ward`s drawing but on the other hand he going out on top Really like this drawing of a Woman agreeing to bend over and touch the floor and she got what she deserve a hard slap on the tush! this drawing from Ward even though it not otk is great and a real turnon looking at this sexy woman with her large well form bottom sticking up high encase in black lace panty about to be spank by a guy with a wide grin on his face and who can blame him! any guy would love to spank a rear like that as usual the woman is gorgeous and wearing long gloves a Ward trade mark! another thing I like about this drawing the Humor Yes she is going to get a big surprise GREAT DRAWING!! You are so right its about time someone turned Wondergirl 2 aka Donna Troy across their knees for a good spanking and who better than her Foster mother Wonder Woman!!!!!!!! always wanted to see Wondergirl 2 get spank ever since she join Teen Titan only wish the Robin was the one to spank her This drawing which is good don`t know why Wonder Woman is choking Donna while she is spanking her could have been better in color! the over the knees is nice . so is the part with Donna`s hands are bound with WW Magic Lasso also like the Whap and flames coming from her plum rear showing that the spanking is hard! also is that tears coming from her eyes seem the Wonder Woman have spank all three Wondergirls and hoping she spank Wondergirl 4 Stephanie Travor her daughter!! GOOD DRAWING!! I think the boss on tv`s The Nanny was call Mr. Shepfield hope I spelled it right Oh how many times I wished he had put Miss Dresser over his knees she was really asking for it anyway how humiliated it is to see Supergirl being spank by a mortal unless Fran is a Super Nanny :lol! The drawing is nice being it`s Supergirl over the knees I think or maybe it the Boss`s daughter the tall blonde girl dress up like Supergirl for Halloween and Fran is spanking her for coming home late! the color is goos and the otk position is ok don`t like the big booted feet of Supergirl her out fit is ok! and she do have a big rear Maybe she needs to return the favor and spank Fran!! Nice drawing ! Mr. JER!!!! Mr. Jer is hitting it out the park with his Super Spanking Drawings! and this drawing of Batman setting fire to shapely bare bottom of Batgirl is a Knockout!!!

MR. Jer is A GREAT GREAT ARTIST! also nice shade of red Batgeirl`s bottom is and nice boots!

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

i like the Ward drawing and i enjoyed your analysis of this one vs pre 1955 . the spankee is indeed bent way over from up on those high heels . i love the hose, garters and panties of course. our spanker seems exceedingly happy that his ploy has worked. the spankee, on the other hand appears a bit blank..........as if she really is wondering what the surprise is . I wonder if she knows O T Katie . i think Mr.Jer did an excellent job on the Batman/Batgirl spanking. it's a fine depiction of a good, old fashioned punishment spanking, which is my favorite kind i like the expressions too. Batman certainly has a stern, no nonsense expression. i agree with your comments on her expression and i would add that it appears she might be getting ready start crying . the flying hair and kicking legs go well with that expression too . thanks for the notes concerning the way Batman is drawn. i wouldn't have noticed that myself. Fran spanking Supergirl........i have to agree with your comment that this is an unusual pairing again,thanks for all the explanation of Wonder Girl. i really never followed any of this so i wouldn't have known any of this. not a bad drawing for F/F and i like the tears starting to flow . these are still good updates even if you are out of town . thanks, phil

Thanks for all the time and hard work you put into these weekly updates.

Humorama Series #153: We're not sure exactly what kind of surprise this young lady expected when she agreed to bend over and touch the floor, but we do know what kind she's going to get!

But in art as it is in life, what we gain in one area we lose in another, and to get this position we have to give up the OTK one. It's a fine cartoon from Ward's middle period in the late 50's, though.

I notice the Bill Ward one was dated 1957. That was before all his men had angry expressions on their faces and his women had boobs that were too big to be sexy. This drawing has the look of a fun-loving little prank played on a well-endowed young lady. I like the early works of Bill Ward, and I'm sad for the bitterness that seems so evident in his later cartoons.

Batman Family Series: Last week Mr. Jer gave us an unusual pairing; this week it's the most natural one imaginable as Batman spanks Batgirl. More lovely M/F work from Mr. Jer.

Mmmm! A lovely drawing by Mr. Jer! What did Ms. Gordon do to earn Batman's wrath? We aren't told, but, from the look on his face, it must've been a serious infraction. And I notice her tights aren't rolled down... so where are they? She's wearing her boots and the upper half of her costume, but she's naked from waist to mid-calf! Did Batman catch her in the middle of getting dressed? ...or undressed? It would be interesting to know what events led up to this scene.

Supergirl Series: Remember the television series The Nanny? I don't think I ever saw a complete episode, but I seem to remember a spanking threat, and I might have become a fan of the show if Fran the nanny had ever delivered some spankings as she does here to Supergirl.

Wonder Girl Series: It's time to meet the third of the three Wonder Girls now (second chronologically) as Donna Troy gets spanked by Wonder Woman. This is the first of three Diana/Donna spankings we'll be seeing.

As usual, I'm not so interested in the F/F pictures. It would be nice to see the Nanny on the receiving end... perhaps a spanking from her male boss, or even the butler... Fran Drescher had a cute little derriere in her Nanny days, and she frequently wore outfits that really showed off her feminine curves. And there were times when she would do things that would've probably earned her a visit to the boss's lap if it had been a '50s sit-com. Missed opportunities!

Hiya, Web-ed, and thanks for all your help in getting my password(s) working again.

Your Aug. 16 post brings us several good pics, and as always you are our hero for scouring through the publications of the past in order to find these delectable spanking treasures. The Ward drawing of a girl foolishly bending over at the waist is surely one of the most interesting... and mind you, I am a MAJOR fan of OTK spankings, so any day that I praise a toon where the spankee is standing instead of lying across a man's lap is a rarity. But this one is that good.

Of course, her precise positioning is not realistic. Usually, when a human being bends over THAT FAR, the body compensates for the shift in positioning by moving the pelvis BACK, so the person can remain erect. Try it yourself. If you bend over at the waist, you'll see that the legs do not remain perpendicular to the floor. They always rock back, to maintain your balance. Bill Ward's spankee here is defying nature by remaining erect although half her body is touching the rug. But never mind, Ward was an artist and he fashioned his drawings to appeal to the readers. The girl's legs here are greatly appealing, as is the idea that very soon she'll be clutching her stinging bottom, after the swat.

It's amusing that you focused on the fact that her knickers are riding higher on the left than on the right. WHO notices those things, anyway? Only the great Web-ed, who examines every picture in minute detail.

The Batman-Batgirl pic by Mr. Jer is one of the best drawings I've seen. Here, Mr. Jer gives us a perfect OTK pose, as Barbara (Batgirl) lies submissively over Batman's lap, her bottom tilted higher than her head, in ideal fashion. I also appreciate that here, the artist shows us the spanker's right hand stretched high above his head, preparatory to landing yet another hard smack on Barb's fine ass. "Yet another?" Yes, we know there have been swats before the one that's upcoming, since Barb's bottom is already glowing a bright red.

You mentioned that "(b)oth expressions are good, especially Batgirl's, which looks to be a mixture of repentance and distress as her bottom turns as red as her hair!" Repentance and distress, yes certainly. But you could have added "pleasure." It looks to me as if Barb is smiling as she receives her comeuppance. That's an emotion that we see quite often in spanking scenarios, and it would not be out of place here.

You also suggested that when Superman spanks Supergirl he stands in loco parentis, because they are blood relatives. Although Batman and Batgirl are not related to each other, I believe that he too can be said to stand in loco parentis. The term applies to any person or organization that assumes the functions and responsibilities of a parent. And Batgirl can be said to stand... for a week!

Cheers,
Dan

Humorama Series #154: The penultimate entry in this series is not a CSR first, except in the sense that Dan Rivera first posted it here on the CSR Forum a while back. It's a Kirk Stiles effort in which a man spanks his wife with the assistance of his mother-in-law, which we'd say was help from an unexpected quarter. I do have a new scan to go along with Dan's version.

Super-Spanking Summer III:

• Batman Family Series: Last week Batgirl was spanked by Batman, but this week it's back over the Joker's knee for the fourth time as we see Mr. Jer's Joker spanks Batgirl #4.
• Supergirl Series: There aren't many superheroes or superheroines who could plausibly spank Supergirl - the most obvious choice among the superheroines is Wonder Woman, and even that's quite a stretch. Still, Steve O. Reno turns in another polished piece in which Wonder Woman Spanks Supergirl.
• Wonder Girl Series: When Wonder Girl acts like any other wild teen-age celebrity, what's a Wonder Woman to do? The answer is pretty obvious, as Donna Troy gets spanked by Wonder Woman. This is the second of three Diana/Donna spankings we'll be seeing.
  
  Next Week: The Humorama Series concludes(?) after 2 years and 8 months of continuous cartoons with Secretary Spanking #41, which as far as I know only Mike, Michael and I (within the spanko community) have ever seen. This is a good one by Kirk Stiles. In addition, I finally unveil the Humorama Spanking Cartoon Data Base, and have written another article - "Humorama: An Afterword" containing a few more thoughts on this amazing body of work. But don't despair, Humorama fans - we're not done with Humorama just yet, as I'll explain in more detail next week.
  
  Super-Spanking Summer III will be on hiatus next week, only to return in two weeks with the simultaneous conclusion of all three current series: Batman Family, Wonder Girl, and Supergirl - how's that for great planning? After that, we'll focus on She-Ra, Princess of Power, and after that - we'll have to see. Need I add that true spankos won't want to miss any of this?

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

CSR first or not, i'm glad we got to see the assisted spanking by Stiles . you've already commented on the awkward OTK position and the cami knickers. what i found most interesting was the expressions. the spankee may be gritting her teeth and whether she is or not, it's obvious that she is in distress and irritated by her spanking and the fact that her mom is helping.........just as it should be . the spanker is smiling, of course, again, just as it should be. as you commented, who better indeed than her mother to know that her daughter needs a good spanking and that's exactly what i took from her expression. not only is she smiling but also there is a certain, knowledgeable satisfaction in her expression as if she is pleased to be able to keep her daughter from interfering with the spanking she so deserves . i'm not sure what the discs are that appear to be flying around although that looks like a checker board to the left so maybe our naughty girl has been cheating . Mr. Jer is obviously quite flexible in his style as you pointed out. i like the OTK position in this one but the incredulous look on Batgirl's face is priceless . seems like she's having trouble believing that this is happening to her. good thing she has the sting in her bottom to change those beliefs . again, the action is captured well. i too liked the OTK position in the WW spanks Supergirl although i do wish Steve O Reno had given Supergirl a rounder, more plump bottom. i love the expression on Supergirl's face which goes perfectly with that finger in her mouth...........as if she knows full she's been caught being naughty and will now get spanked for it . WW looks a bit surprised at the sparks flying . i agree with most of the comments you've already made about the WW spanks Wonder Girl. it does seems like a really good punishment spanking for a variety of good reasons though and those are my favorites . i'll be looking forward to the Stiles drawing next week and your Humorama article . thanks for the continuing updates. phil

HI WEB ED CSR!!! First off I don`t think I ever saw this drawing from Kirk Stiles before but one thing I certainly LOve it mainly because the spankee`s own mother is helping out in the spanking of her daughter now this isn`t one of Stiles best drawing the husband should have been setting on a much taller stool or straight back chair and the wife needed to be planted more firmly over his lap with bottom sticking up! the cami she wearing is ok perfer something more skimpy like the expression on the wife face as she tell her she always on her son in law side! the smile on her husband is funny as he wallop his bad wife`s fanny! juding by the checker board and checkers falling on the ground she must have been caught cheating in checkers GOOD SPANKING DRAWING FROM STILES!! Mr. Jer is still on top with his Super Spanking and even though this isn`t a pinup drawing it still Great! Wow Batgirl do have have nice large round bottom and to see it bare over The Joker`s lap as he soundly spanks it a nice shape of red is a thing of beauty and a real turnon would have thought the Joker would be using a paddle or hairbrush on this fine rump anyway the otk is good and the wide smile of The Joker`s face is excellence! also like that her hands is bound to keep her from interfering with the spanking! don`t think she going to be sitting for a while Fantastic drawing and like the comic book style From Mr. JER This week Wonder Woman spank Wonder Girl Donna Troy drawing is much better really like how Wondergirl`s big shapely up turned rear is up high on WW knees also like that she is being spanked on the tight seat of her red pantsuit and she is howling like a banshee as WW lays it on MOMMY style That will teach Donna not to be a brat! Was Wondergirl Teen Titan card rip by Wonder Woman as punishment for bad behavoir? and WOW WHAT A BILL SHE HAVE TO PAY GOOD DRAWING!!!Speaking of a good spanking is those Sparks coming from Supergirl behind Wonder Wonder must be a very hard spanker! This drawing from Steve O Reno is nice and the color is grand! Like both women outfits but for some reason the spanking is not as good as some of the other Supergirl spanking Want to see Supergirl turn the table and spank Wonder Woman or the Wonder Girls especially her Teen Titan partner Donna Troy! NICE DRAWING!!!

[hugob00m]

Once again, you've given us a nice assortment of pictures in your weekly update. Of course, I prefer the two M/F ones.

Humorama Series #154: The penultimate entry in this series is not a CSR first, except in the sense that Dan Rivera first posted it here on the CSR Forum a while back. It's a Kirk Stiles effort in which a man spanks his wife with the assistance of his mother-in-law, which we'd say was help from an unexpected quarter. I do have a new scan to go along with Dan's version.

It's sad that you're almost out of Humorama cartoons, but I was glad to see you had a "new" Kirk Stiles. You said that Dan had posted it earlier, but I didn't see his post. It must've been one that he removed within 48 hours after no one commented.

The positioning of the characters is a bit odd, with the wife turned almost sideways and her butt in a very awkward location for the husband's hand to reach. And his hand is twisted in a weird way. But on the plus side, the wife is very attractive. She looks as though he might want to spank her whether or not she ever gives him a good reason to. And does he have a reason? We don't really know. The checkerboard and checkers falling to the floor might indicate that there had been a game in progress. Perhaps the husband and his mother-in-law were playing a game and the wife (in her underwear? Why?) was interfering. If that's the case, was she trying to help her mother or her husband? Either way, she might have easily provided her husband with a sort of reasonable excuse to turn her over his knee, and for her mother want to side with him. Am I over-analyzing? Probably. But I like for there to be a story.

And I like what's happening with her bra strap. If there was a next picture here, she'd probably wind up with her right breast exposed.

Batman Family Series: Last week Batgirl was spanked by Batman, but this week it's back over the Joker's knee for the fourth time as we see Mr. Jer's Joker spanks Batgirl #4.

Mmmm! Batgirl gets her tights pulled down... (again!) and her bare bottom spanked... (again!) this time by the Joker. What did she do this time? Maybe she was snooping around his hideout, (without backup as usual) Or, given the Joker's penchant for puns, maybe he was thinking of the similarity between "Bat-girl" and BAD girl! Dave Wolfe did something along that line once, but I believe his spanker was the Flash. Or... maybe no one really needs a reason to spank Batgirl! That gorgeous posterior and the form-fitting costume she wears make for a temptation that few spankos could resist!

Supergirl Series: There aren't many superheroes or superheroines who could plausibly spank Supergirl - the most obvious choice among the superheroines is Wonder Woman, and even that's quite a stretch. Still, Steve O. Reno turns in another polished piece in which Wonder Woman Spanks Supergirl.
Wonder Girl Series: When Wonder Girl acts like any other wild teen-age celebrity, what's a Wonder Woman to do? The answer is pretty obvious, as Donna Troy gets spanked by Wonder Woman. This is the second of three Diana/Donna spankings we'll be seeing.

These two were beautifully drawn, but I just don't like F/F pictures. Too bad. Especially the Steve O. Reno one. What would make me happy would be if two male superheroes, (or perhaps a superhero and a Greek god) would step in and decide that both women need a good spanking.

[daneldorado]

Thanks yet again, Web-ed... for taking the time and trouble to search out these gems from the comics of yesteryear.

I appreciate that you gave me credit for having posted the Kirk Stiles toon of a man spanking his wife with the assistance of his mother-in-law. That one is a stunning "twist" on the usual spanking cartoons, and I loved the bizarre humor behind it. Your new scan is definitely better than the one I previously posted, and I have now downloaded your scan to my files, in place of the old one.

The "Joker Spanks Batgirl" toon is probably okay for some folks, but as you know, I disapprove of OTK scenes that showcase the lady's genitals. So I won't be downloading that one.

Much better, I think, is Steve O. Reno's pic of Wonder Woman spanking Super Girl. I especially like his use of coloring. Yes, I know you have credited someone by the name of "Pinup Guy" with doing the coloring; but that must be another of Reno's noms de plume. Surely Pinup Guy is not a proper baptismal name. Anyway, whoever did the coloring is an expert, and he is most likely also a spanko, for the coloring and shading seem to be a labor of love. The added touch of showing "sparks" flying off the seat of the spankee shows an affection for the subject matter, and a knowing wink at the rest of us.

There is just one thing I would question, about the WW-SG pic: In the full-color version, the artist has a problem with the eyes. Note that in the basic black & white drawing, we can tell that the spanker (WW) is concentrating on the spankee's bottom, with both eyes. But in the color version, WW's pupils seem to be looking in different directions. I won't criticize this too heavily, for as an artist myself I know how tricky it is to draw eyes that look like real life. But it's something Steve O. and his colorist should keep in mind.

I don't have much to say about the other Wonder Woman pic, partly because it is F/F but mostly because this depiction is the ugliest Diana has ever looked. I don't know how Andy Cohen could bring himself to present this picture to his editors as a finished work. But I'm sure that some of his other work is delightful.

Cheers,
Dan

Super-Spanking Summer III gets the week off so we can end(?) the Humorama Series on a high note.

• Over the past couple of months, we've probably added about 100 new covers to the Humorama Cover Gallery. In fact it's grown so large we've had to divide it into two separate pages. It won't be of enormous interest to everybody, but Humorama fans might want to take a peek since we've also added some explanatory notes about the various Humorama titles where we have sufficient information to do so.
• With all 207 known Humorama spanking cartoons now posted, it's time to reveal the Humorama Spanking Cartoon Data Base! Yes, we've designed and built a data base just to hold all the pertinent information on this great body of work - cartoonist, dates printed, description, thumbnail link to the cartoon's page - it's all here. And it's searchable by artist! Why not take it for a test drive today? I've posted some instructions on how to use it in the Humorama section of this forum.
• For two years and eight months it's been a wild ride, each week posting a new Humorama cartoon. Now it's time to look back, and needless to say we've written a long article doing just that: Humorama: An Afterword. My prose is at least enlivened with a few pictures.
• Humorama Series #155: For the ultimate entry in this series we go back to the sub-genre that gave birth to the modern spanking cartoon at Humorama: the Secretary Spanking! For the 41st time(!), we witness the enlightened personnel policy of a secretary getting her fanny warmed by her boss, and in this case, by a new boss learning how from the old one! This is the last of Mike's old Humorama collection (with an alternate version provided recently by Michael) and an excellent example of Kirk Stiles' work. And it is indeed another CSR first, as well as our 207th Humorama "spanker".

Although the Humorama Series is concluding at least for now, fans should not despair: we are by no means done with Humorama just yet! First, I believe there are at least 10 cartoons still out there and I'm still looking for them. That means the series will no doubt have at least one revival at some unknown future date. How many more Humorama spanking cartoons are still out there is a question I examined over on the Humorama topic.

Second, there were two non-cartoon spankings in Humorama that we'll be seeing in the not-too-distant future. One of these is a still from the movie She Wrote the Book and the other was simply posed by hired models. The one from She Wrote the Book has been known for some time, although I don't recall seeing this still before, while the other one is my own discovery and has never been seen on the web before to the best of my knowledge.

Third, we still have several nice Humorama pastiches done by Tim to present. We only stopped doing them because we simply couldn't handle more than four updates per week (necessitated by Super-Spanking Summer III).

And lastly, we have about 14 new scans and updates to our existing Humorama cartoons. This number may increase as our research continues, however slowly, in the coming months. I'm not sure when we'll see these, but we'll get to them eventually.

Next Week: Super-Spanking Summer III returns with the simultaneous conclusion of all three current series: Batman Family, Wonder Girl, and Supergirl. You won't want to miss it!

hi web-ed,

wow1 that's a lot of covers you have there . it'll take a while to get time to look at all of them. i see you took the time to indicate which issues have spanking drawings in the too . perhaps it won't be the primary interest for most folks but it's still a great resource so thanks for taking the time to provide it for us . and speaking of great resources, the Humorama spanking cartoon data base is really great . i already made my comments with your post under Humorama and other men's magazines but i will say again how much i appreciate all the time you put in to provide this for us . i loved reading "Humorama: An Afterword . i thought the development of the "spankers" was fascinating to say the least along with the reasoning behind this development. the fact that you illustrated your thoughts and conclusions with examples of spanking drawings from Humorama magazines added a lot of clarity to what you were trying to depict with your written words. i know this must have taken a while and i REALLY APPRECIATE your effort to bring this to us . the Stiles secretary spanking is certainly a fitting end to the Humorama series.......and another CSR first . i like the well dressed spankee with the accoutrements of the day. as you noted, the secretary is matter of factly taking her spanking and the old boss looks a bit bored too?? must be time for him to retire for sure . looking at the new boss, i'd say Miss Marvello has some much more enthusiastic spankings coming in the future . thanks for the great updates this week and for all the work you do here at CSR! . i't all greatly appreciated. phil

Hiya Web-ed... I'd like to echo the comments of everybody's friend, Phil (overbarrel) and say:

speaking of great resources, the Humorama spanking cartoon data base is really great . i will say again how much i appreciate all the time you put in to provide this for us . i loved reading "Humorama: An Afterword . i thought the development of the "spankers" was fascinating to say the least along with the reasoning behind this development.

This is incredible, Web-ed. All the time and effort you put into researching this dearly beloved pastime of ours has really paid off! Don't know if I ever told you this, but back in the 1970s I conducted a similar search, going into the backrooms of magazine stores and looking through whatever old mags they still had, and they were plenty expensive to buy! When I would find an old magazine I wanted to buy, I would end up paying many times the original selling price. But in my case, my search was focused on pics of pretty women raising their skirts to show off their legs. There was a lot of "action" in those old mags, and I ended up buying hundreds of them, just to be able to save those pics. In modern times, it seems as if the idea of a model or an actress raising her skirt up to her hips and "showing off" her legs is considered "old fashioned." Nowadays, they are all in bikinis or else completely naked. Can't get into that. IMHO, the only good "leg art" is where the lady lifts her skirt for us.

It's interesting that you consider the Bill Wenzel cartoon showing a secretary getting spanked and pleading with her boss, as the start of both the genre of the Spanking Cartoon and the sub-genre of Secretary Spanking. You then say: "We learned of this cartoon's existence from a low-quality cover scan of an old Humorama digest, and we believe it dates from July 1955."

I assume you are speaking only of Humorama and similar magazines. Because of course there were spanking cartoons incorporated into many comic strips that predated 1955. Spankings in "The Phantom," "Smilin' Jack," and the great Queen Arda arc from "Superman" all predated 1955.

If you will forgive me for mentioning spankings in the movies yet again (I know that isn't your favorite genre), let me say that scenes with M/F spankings go all the way back to the silent screen days. In fact, I believe they were a larger percentage of mainstream films than they are now, in this "enlightened" age.

Some years ago, I ordered a 16mm film from the Library of Congress called "Stage Struck," about three sisters who escape from their home and run away to join a traveling carnival show. Not surprising? Well, how about this: That film was produced in NINETEEN OH SEVEN! Yes, 1907, and the film ends with the parents capturing their daughters and giving them a public spanking! There are three girls, so Papa and Mama each spank one, while a friendly policeman spanks the third.

There were M/F spankings in films even older than "Stage Struck," but we know about these only from written reviews, as the films themselves seem not to have survived.

So, Web-ed, your work of researching and finding these old spanking toons is greatly appreciated and admired. Please believe that you are loved, even from afar, and that your work has made you King in our eyes. No one else has made the effort to find and preserve these old artifacts from an earlier age, and with us that makes you Number One.

Cheers,
Dan

HI WEB -ED CSR!!!! Hope to see more Humorama Spanking cartoons Soon you are right there got to be more out there! Nice humor in Kirk Stiles`s new Boss learning from old one and I got to say the old boss sure knows how to give a spanking to a bad secretary This drawing is good but I believe it could have been better ! the otk is great and the secretary is pretty kinda look like Jessica Rabbit with the hair covering one eye! don`t like the cami that goes way up her back and I wish Stiles given her a more rounder plumper bottom! but what makes this cartoon good is the old boss showing the new boss how to spank his secretary! GOOD DRAWING!! Great job on making The Humorama cover Gallery Loving watching the cover arts from all the magazines especially the one with spanking on the cover the Big 6 really did their job drawing some of the hottest well built women in the World OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Data Base is also Fantastic can`t wait to use it!!! Going to miss Seeing those Humorama spanking cartoons But glad to see The Data Base and Gallery where I could check out old drawings! THANKS WEB-ED CSR!!!!!

It's sad to see that the long streak of weekly additions to Humorama spankers has ended. (For now, at least) But you sure found a doozey for the conclusion of the series! The boss is training his sucessor in how to spank the secretary. Heh heh! I agree with Butch that I would've liked it better if Kirk had drawn her with a plumper bottom, but judging from his other cartoons, he must have preferred women with less porminent backsides. (That's why I liked Bill Wenzel so much in spite of his frequent use of some really awkward positions)

Your Humorama data base looks to be quite useful and informative. It'll provide an easy reference for future research projects by your readers. (For instance, I had been considering the possibility of comparing the ratio of lefthanded and righthanded spankings, per artist and total.) Also, we can look up works by favorite artists just for fun if we want to. Thanks!

That's right, Dan, I consider single-panel humor cartoons to be a different form than comics, so I consider them to have separate histories. Comics seem to have been somewhat more advanced, with the OTK examples you mentioned going back to the '30's, whereas humor cartoons were basically still doing the "Bend over, get a swat" gag from Burlesque until those first secretary spankings in 1955 (I use the plural here because there was a secretary "spanker" from a non-Humorama publication that came out just before Wenzel's ground-breaking one in July 1955, and of course we'll be seeing it here on CSR some time next year). And after we've seen the 10 or so non-Humorama spanking cartoons I've managed to find, I'll write another article in which I attempt to document the development of the form.

As for the cinema, I'm always happy to have you share your knowledge with us. As a matter of fact, there was one film/Humorama crossover, when Humorama printed a spanking still from the movie She Wrote the Book. When I get around to posting it, I hope you'll have some thoughts to share with us about that film.

the Humorama spanking cartoon data base is really great ... thanks for the great updates this week and for all the work you do here at CSR! . i't all greatly appreciated. phil

Thanks very much, guys! I was hoping other people besides myself would get some use out of these features. And don't despair too much about Humorama - I'm sure to do a "Return to Humorama" week in the not-too-distant future with the two non-cartoon items and Tim's parodies, not to mention some new scans of the older cartoons, and the search does continue for the 10(?) cartoons I still believe are out there...

One last point about Humorama: I should have mentioned last week that the origin of one cartoon, May's "Home Remedy", is still in doubt, that is it may be non-Humorama. Also, Dan posted a Wenzel "spanker" here on the forum that is probably Humorama, but because Wenzel did at least one spanking cartoon elsewhere (we'll see it next year) I'm not putting it in the DB and giving it its own page until I know for sure. So the Humorama count could stay the same, or go down to 206 or up to 208 - we'll have to await more research before we know.
