Weekly Updates

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

well, in the Cheetah spanking WW drawing, i thought the artist's skill was obvious as both spanker and spankee are well drawn and lovely and WW has a nice bottom going. having said that, i don't really care much for the drawing. i don't like the flogger either and you have already pointed out the problems with the position. i'm assuming that the artist is drawing this as he has been instructed to do but i really don't care much for this. as you've noted before, i'm more of an OTK hand spanker myself..............which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone here . i still appreciate that you found this and posted it for us though. Krampus is a traditional Christmas spanker. this is an interesting drawing with a very muscular spankee..........not that those muscles are gonna help her much in this situation . you commented on her provocative pose and it does like she is positioned to receive her strokes or perhaps something else from Krampus . thanks for all the info on both of this week's artists. i find it interesting just where all the spanking art comes from..............even if they aren't strictly spanking artists. interesting updates. Merry Christmas . phil

Our last update of 2013 - we have a "Happy New Year" postcard with a spanking, and we also have Pablo's modifications of a Superman spanks Wonder Woman drawing. Plus - hugob00m chimed in with this seasonal spanking for O. T. Katie.

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.

• Super-Spankings: the Wonder Woman Series continues with an update to last September's Superman Spanks Wonder Woman. Pablo has added some color (especially in one strategic location!) and lowered WW's star-spangled panties that she might derive the maximum possible benefit from the experience.
• Another seasonally-appropriate drawing as a husband delivers a New Year's spanking to his wife!

Next week: please join us as we briefly discuss plans for the New Year, present the December search report, take a look at another German postcard spanking, and wind up the Wonder Woman series as her long-suffering boyfriend, Steve Trevor, finally does what he should have done a long time ago!

hi web-ed,

thanks and a tip of the hat to Pablo for his well thought out alterations to the Superman spanking WW by Robb Phipps . i certainly like her red, bare bottom showing and it does appear from her expression that she's feeling it a lot more now . actually, looking at her kicking and especially the position of her hands, i think her modified expression goes much better overall than her original expression. i'm not sure about the lasso around her knees..............perhaps Supes is just using it to further show his dominance over her . the German post card is interesting. the head between his legs position is an unusual one but i will say our spanker does indeed seem to be in control . that strap seems to be effective too, judging by the yelling that the spankee is doing . i think if i was the spanker in this one i would probably at least have pulled up her dress though since there is little she could do about it. of course, it could be that you couldn't have depicted that on a post card . thanks for the great updates . i'll be looking forward to you discussion of you plans for the new year next week. thanks, phil

HI WEB-ED CSR!!!!! Happy Holiday to all !!!!! It great to be back after a very long rest!! Look Like Wonder Woman can`t stop being naughty Good thing Superman around to keep her in line! This drawing from Robb Phipps is great mainly the otk with WW place firmly across the muscles lap of The Man Of Steel Also like her skimpy panty wedge between her legs giving Superman a chance to spank her bare buttcheeks Is it me or do Wonder Woman looks kinda younger in this drawing anyway GREAT Drawing! and Thumbs up to Pablo version of the same drawing with panty down a nice red fanny and Wonder Woman pained facial expression OUCH!! What a Good way to start the New Year off by spanking your wife bet she will get the message to behave for the rest of the year Really like this Post Card from Germany of a man using a strap to spank his wife for New Year although I wish it was over the knees! The position is ok and humiliating for the woman who head is between her husband`s legs and very big bottom up high for the strap maybe her dress could have been pulled up revealing her bloomers Fantastic drawing on a POst Card!!!

Our last update of 2013 - we have a "Happy New Year" postcard with a spanking, and we also have Pablo's modifications of a Superman spanks Wonder Woman drawing. Plus - hugob00m chimed in with this seasonal spanking for O. T. Katie.

First of all: thanks for giving my Holiday 'toon a plug.

I really like Roy Phipps's rendidtion of Superman spanking Wonder Woman. I think I like it better than the Pablo modification, but it's nice to see both side by side. It's a shame the D.C. editors and publishers didn't decide to do a spanking like that in one of thier actual stories. With Superman being more-or-less in charge of the Justice League, I would think the writers could have come up with a story that would've lent itself to a Superman/Wonder Woman spanking. Perhaps, in the pursuit of a super-villain, Wonder Woman could've wanted to do something that would've put her safety at risk. The ever-chivalrous Superman would... of course... refuse to allow it. She could try to carry out her plan behind his back and get caught. >SIGH!< Oh well!

The New Year card is sort of a fun little thing. I took a bit of German in high school years back, but I can't read the caption. A New Year's spanking seems like it should be a tradition!

[web-ed]

I wanted to talk about site navigation this week, but there's too much else to get through so it will have to wait until next week.

First, the December Search Report:
Pages searched: 2204
Total: 454620
Comic Spankings: 3

Fewer pages became available in December, so only 3 spankings showed up, none of them to be posted although as usual I have put them in the Comics Spanking Data Base. To help those who might be interested find them, here are the details:

1. Fight Comics #18 (April 1942, fiction house) – monkey/strut warren, strut warren strip, M/M hand. More monkey business in bar fight scene.
2. Everybody’s Comics nn, 1944 (Wm H. Wise & Co.) – Karrots strip, Robbie (robot) / Karrots, M/M, hand, OTK
3. Famous Funnies #110 (Sept. 1943, Eastern Color Press) – Invisible Scarlet 0’Neil, Scarlet/Beansie, F/M, hand. This is an earlier spanking with only one swat. Q.v. FF #126

Invisible Scarlet O'Neil always presented Scarlet drawn rather sexily for the day, so it's a great pity that for the 3rd time she's giving a spanking rather than receiving one. She's pretty close to being a uniformed super-heroine, but because she's spanking a boy there's no way I'd post this one.

The Humorama Search turned up two items: a new Kirk Stiles secretary spanking (really an after-the-spanking moment) and a live model F/F photo sequence.

Next, as this is our first update of the New Year, let's talk briefly about my plans for 2014. We're going to have two special months for sure, Romantic Spanking Month in Feb. and our 10th Anniversary in April. For the first of these, I'm going to have a brand-new, never-before-seen spanking from romance comics each week, plus whatever else I can manage, including a new version of the old Wagon Train spanking. For the 10th Anniversary, I'm going to have something new each week, plus some special features (I hope) including a better version of the Route 66 spanking, and in general try to remind everyone of the kind of things we do here that you wouldn't find anywhere else. We'll probably also have some special features on this board.

On top of that, I'm thinking we should try a Return to Humorama for May. Since all this will interrupt the current weekly Super-Spankings, I'm inclined to reverse myself and cut the series short after next week only to resume it as Super Spanking Summer 4 in June, when we can perhaps finally get through my remaining 40 - 50 examples of this type.

Now the only problem with all this activity is how demanding it is. It's going to take me an enormous amount of time to get everything done; therefore, I've got to make things as easy on myself as I can in Jan. and March to prepare for Feb. and April. I'll probably do some Picture Gallery updates, but I expect I'm going to be doing a lot of updates to existing pages because they take less time than completely new pages. Besides, they need doing, and CSR Readers will be getting some nice new scans to look at.

I also have a lot of video material stored up, so perhaps we can have one video page per month during the year.

O.K., let's get to the updates:
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.

• Super-Spankings: the Wonder Woman Series finally concludes with the pairing we've all been waiting for: Steve Trevor Spanks Wonder Woman! As natural an idea as it would seem to be for WW's long-suffering boyfriend to finally take her over his knee, only Bawdy Bard has ever actually designed such a cartoon (art by Kevin Karstens). We must confess that BB sent this to us a couple of years ago, and we kept putting off presenting it because we wanted to use it as the climax of the WW Series and we found so much WW spanking art we simply didn't reach the end of it until now.
• Another German postcard to complement last week's as a husband uses a carpet beater on his wife. It's more fun than beating the dust out of rugs, that's for sure!

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

it sounds like a disappointing month for your search..............sigh. i sure do appreciate it that you take the time to do this for us................especially since a lot of the stuff you have to wade through has to be disgusting for you......it would be for me. on the other hand, i love it that you're still finding more spankings from Humorama and i'll be looking forward to the return of the series in May . Romantic spanking month and the 10th anniversary both sound great and i'll be anxiously awaiting both of those too . it's shaping up like 2014 could be a memorable year here at CSR . with all the stuff you are planning on presenting, i don't think anyone here will fault you for taking it easy when you can...........in January or March or any other time you can. i have to admit that the idea of seeing WW getting spanked by Steve is a satisfying one...............there's just something that seems right to me about seeing any man spanking his girl friend . man! there are many times in my past that i would love to have had the lasso of truth to get some admissions from girl friends . in addition to her admissions that she wants to be spanked by him, i thought the kicking legs and tears were a nice touch too . i think this drawing definitely shows what they both want and need.................for him to dominate her. i can see why he stripped her naked for this spanking as i have a hunch she won't be needing those clothes for a while even after the spanking is finished . i would say that the spanking post card is an "on the spot" "yank and spank" type of spanking. i would guess that she did something that pissed him off and he just reacted by giving her a spanking. that would account for the careless spanking position...........anything to get her bottom where he could swat it. i'm not fond of the carpet beater as a spanking implement. i would much preferred a wooden paddle and a bare bottom. i can see that in a situation like this, he might have just grabbed the first thing that came handy though. since he has his hand holding her by the back of the neck, i'm assuming he is planning on making sure she stays there until he's finished. again, not one of my favorite ideas for controlling her. all in all, i like the idea of a yank and spank type of spanking under certain circumstances but i think the spanker should always be in control of himself. thanks for getting our new year started off with this information and these good updates . phil

HAPPY NEW YEAR WEB - ED CSR!!!!! With a New Year come hope of seeing more great spanking from Comic books and comic strips both old and new!! First thing Going to Miss Wonder Woman Spanking Series But all good thing must come to an end for now? this drawing of her being spanked by Steve Trevor is good more pleasure than discipline seem the only way to spank WW is by first binding her hand with her Magic Lasso the otk is good plus she naked and in great shape! always wanted to see Steve Spank Wonder Woman in a comic mainly in her alter ego Diana! love to have seen him warming up the seat of her long forty style skirt over his knees as she tried not to revel her secret that she Wonder Woman wasn`t there a strip where she was chain to a stove! Feminist must have hated that like I said this drawing is good but I wish it was a discipline type spanking! Got to love those old German Post Cards! Husband Spanks Wife with a Carpet Beater! Great drawing even though it not otk! the pushing of her face onto the table is kinda rough ! but he doing it to keep her in place while he paddle her fanny also love that the wife is a mature woman how humiliating! Hope to see more spanking Post Cards if possible! THANKS!! AND HAPPY 2014 !!!!

[web-ed]

Hope to see more spanking Post Cards if possible! THANKS!! AND HAPPY 2014 !!!!

And a Happy 2014 right back at you, Butch - glad you're back with us once again. We actually will be seeing some more spanking post cards when I finally get around to presenting my History of the Humor Spanking Cartoon. I've gathered a good bit of material plus we'll have to be revisiting some cartoons we've seen before, but I think it will be fun - when I finally get around to it. With everything else that looks to be tying us up for the next 7 months (and yes, my plans in a very general form really do now extend that far in the future) I have no idea when that will be !

it sounds like a disappointing month for your search..............sigh. i sure do appreciate it that you take the time to do this for us................especially since a lot of the stuff you have to wade through has to be disgusting for you......it would be for me.

Thanks for the words of appreciation, Phil. When we get to the Tenth Anniversary, I hope I'll have time to briefly discuss the status of my ongoing search for more spankings in comics. But for now, let me say I'm not discouraged even by the truly dismaying number of M/M scenes that appear in Golden Age comics because I know there are more good M/F scenes out there somewhere. A few issues of the Moulton-era Wonder Woman have managed to elude me (he died in 1947), while even now there must be thousands of Romance Comics I haven't been able to get copies of, for example Atlas during the 50's and some of Charlton during the 60's. DC's Romance Comics are also largely unexplored, since like Atlas they are mostly still under copyright (Charlton's status is more nebulous as they are now owned by DC but I can't imagine anyone there will take the trouble to renew their copyrights when they do finally run out).

Humorama is really tough right now because the old digests have suddenly become very popular - I just lost out on a couple last night. Still, I have enough there for a Back to Humorama month, and of course I'll never give up until I've searched all of the 300 or so digests from the critical period (1956-1960) and the full-size magazines from Humorama's final decade. It will take years, but we're not going anywhere - at least, I hope none of us is going anywhere, like to that great spanking library in the sky, anytime soon!

[hugob00m]

Thanks for the latest update. I'm always eager to see what you'll find next!

Super-Spankings: the Wonder Woman Series finally concludes with the pairing we've all been waiting for: Steve Trevor Spanks Wonder Woman! As natural an idea as it would seem to be for WW's long-suffering boyfriend to finally take her over his knee, only Bawdy Bard has ever actually designed such a cartoon (art by Kevin Karstens). We must confess that BB sent this to us a couple of years ago, and we kept putting off presenting it because we wanted to use it as the climax of the WW Series and we found so much WW spanking art we simply didn't reach the end of it until now.

I'm not usully in favor of combining bondage with spanking, but in this case, a mortal man and his super-powered girlfriend... YES! By all means, use her lasso against her!

Another German postcard to complement last week's as a husband uses a carpet beater on his wife. It's more fun than beating the dust out of rugs, that's for sure!

Maybe it's more fun than cleaning the carpet, but I'd rather spank a pretty bottom with the palm of my hand!

[web-ed]

Dan and B00m: the OTK position will always be king, and spanking by hand will remain the classic method, although I have to believe that historically, implements were probably first used not long after spanking was invented either to spare the hand or to give the bottom more sting. And we will always feature OTK hand spanking here at CSR, even though my own favorite form of spanking is the bent-over paddling , because I recognize the preeminence of the former.

As a matter of fact, some time this year we're finally going to explain the reasons why such a large minority of spankos are into paddles, canes, and other things. Look for some kind of announcement during the April 10th-Anniversary Celebration.

[web-ed]

O.K., something that's been bothering me for a while is that I think a fair number of CSR readers are having trouble navigating around the main site. I'm sure they can follow the weekly links, but unless they've been with us from Day 1, there's a mountain of material out there they probably haven't seen, or would like to revisit. (Just how much is out there is a subject I'll take up in April). A couple of years ago, I put together a Navigation Page to help anyone having trouble, but I'd also like to say a little more here.

What really sets CSR apart technically from all the spanking blogs out there is that, since I designed it myself, it's not limited to the blog-structure imposed by a canned software package, meaning posts organized by date and searchable on a small number of keywords: the "posts" here are separate web pages which are searchable on any keyword or phrase, and more importantly, which are indexed on special pages, one for each department. These index pages, or gallery pages, were designed by me to make it easy to browse through the contents of each department. Thus the Humor Gallery Page, for instance, will show you thumbnails of all the spanking cartoons in that section, and clicking on the thumbnail will take you right to the relevant page. This is an enormous convenience, especially for the next generation of young spankos who may be finding CSR for the first time this year.

How do you get to these index pages? Simple - you use the radio buttons provided on the Home Page (which I'm assuming everyone can get to since there's now a link at the top of every forum page). Here's a screen shot:



Maybe this is what has thrown people off - we're so used to the rather cliched web page design of a horizontal bar near the top of the page with links to the various sections. But there are limitations to this design, and ten years ago I chose the less-common "radio button" one instead. Since then, radio buttons have become pretty rare, but I really just haven't felt the need for a radical redesign here. Just press the colored buttons - doesn't seem that complicated to me.

If anyone is still having trouble after reading this and going to the Navigation Page, just post a note or send me an email and I'll see if I can help.

Now on to the Weekly Updates: 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.

• Super-Spankings: Green Lantern has never much figured into the world of superhero spankings, and even now, we don't have one involving GL himself. But the Red Lantern Razer spanks Dark Aya in this effort by El Manto Negro to show how the GL animated series should have concluded.
• The Roman arena was a grim place in which gladiators fought to the death for the amusement of the public. But suppose instead we had gladiatrices who fought until one was defeated and then spanked by the winner? That would be real entertainment, and it's what we have in this piece by Zarathul.

[butch46163@yahoo.com]

HI WEB-ED CSR!!!!!!! Glad to see there more Super Spanking drawings Good to see the Red Lantern isn`t shy about spanking a naughty female`s rear when needed El Manto Negro done a good job on Drawing both Razer and Dark Aya love the color and the background only problem Razer should have had Dark Aya planted over his knees instead of floating on air! Like also the part that Razer is explaining to her the different between a beating and a spanking Classic no wonder Dark Aya is such a bad girl no one ever spanked her till now Aya also have a very curvy rear and Razer seem to be a good spanker juding by the way his red palm is striking her upturn bottom GOOD drawing!! Always love to see two women fight and the loser get spanked mainly Amazon and female Wrestlers Man I miss those Spanking Matches in WWE This drawing from Zarathul is nice specially with the defeated woman bottom up over her shield waiting to be spanked by the winner The woman whose about to give the spanking should have had something more better to spank with like the flat of a sword or her bare hand! is that a strap she holding anyway this is a exciting drawing being it two female Gladiators battling it out in an arena and the loser being humiliated by getting her behind spanked in public Also love the Helmet the winning woman is wearing and round shapely tail of the loser NICE DRAWING!!

hi web-ed,

as a new reader to CSR, I find that there is indeed a mountain of material (10 years is a long time!) here. it is slow going for me since I have to wait until the family goes to bed and or out of the house before I can look around uninterrupted. but I am having no problem navigating around. in one of you replies to me on something I posted you referred to an article you wrote on intensity levels. I had no problem finding that article. i'm usually not looking for anything in particular. I'm just trying to get through everything. i'll be here awhile! all your hard work is definitely evident here. i'm glad I found CSR!

hi web-ed,

that was a very detailed explanation that went along with the Razer spanks Aya cartoon and after having read it thoroughly, i still have no idea who these characters are or what this is about . fortunately, i don't mind although i do appreciate the explanation. looking at the pic you posted from the animated series, it appears to be to be computer generated.................perhaps something on the line of Poser. as for the spanking drawing, it's a bit peculiar too. her position is actually fairly nice..............too bad she wasn't provided a lap to be over . the way it is, i think he is only gonna get in one swat before she falls to the ground. i do like the expressions. he looks quite satisfied with himself and she is certainly showing some distress at this turn of events . she has a nice bottom too. the good thing i see about this is that it seems to be for younger people so maybe that indicates that younger people too have an interest in spanking . i like the participants in the drawing by Zarathul as they are both nicely shaped young ladies with few clothes on . since the young lady with the strap is obviously the victor in this contest and is waiting for the thumbs up or thumbs down, i like the drawing with the Colosseum background . i like the expression on the loser's face...............that realization that she is in trouble . too bad we can't see the other girl's face. interesting concept . thanks for the updates good updates as usual. phil

[web-ed]

is that a strap she holding?

In the Arena Spanking, it is some kind of strap. The Romans had a kind of short strap with several tails usually made of goatskin that would be used to lightly whip infertile women during the Lupercalia, and it may be this is what Zarathul intended to depict.

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.

• First, we have two ugly items to get out of the way, and many CSR readers will want to skip them: Weird Spankings #26 - The Guardian Paddles a Confession Out of a Suspect.
• Weird Spankings #27 - Spy-Smasher Double Paddling. We had hoped there weren't any more such M/M scenes involving superheroes, but since we found them they have to be added to the Weird series. Warning: ugly M/M junk.
• Romance Spanking Update: Better is True Brides Experiences #16, which may have been the least of what we dubbed "The Seven Spankings" but at least had a decent M/F scene. We have some new scans from the story's first appearance.
• Video Extra: Three women go to the Hofbrauhaus to celebrate a birthday. The Result? Drunken Yodeling and Spanking! That was their title for a YouTube video, from which you'll be glad to hear we edited out the yodeling and left in the spanking. All three women get a good swat on the fanny!

Tim Holt! I vaguely remember him from a serial at the cinema in my 1950s childhood (although the serial was old then).

[overbarrel49]

hi web-ed,

first off, as Dan and probably everyone else expected, i did indeed skip your 2 weird spanking. thanks but no thanks. on the true bride spanking, i like the idea that she is hollering for mom and dad to help but her man isn't having any of that . if she's trying to get them to intervene, she definitely deserves the spanking..................just as Barb did when she ran home to mom and dad in my toon "In the Family". of course, in my toon Al came to spank her and her folks did cheer him on and mom even pulled Barb's panties down . as you noted, the down on one knee position is somewhat awkward in this one plus we can't see the spankee's bottom at all. also the spankee has no detectable expression on her face so i think your description of this as ho-hum is right on the money. i do appreciate all the information and different pics you have here. it's all very interesting i actually thought the spanking panel from 1953 was the best of the lot. i have to hand it to you, you went to lot of time and trouble to bring is all the information on this one . on the bar spanking video............you mentioned that the bending over position was so-so. i agree and the spanker didn't look like he was too well versed on what he ws doing either. the good thing about this one is that a good time was had by all . thanks for your time bring all this to us. thanks, phil

[butch46163@yahoo.com]

HI WEB-ED CSR!!!! Those two ladies at the Bar was doing a lot of fanny rubbing after that one swat of the paddle! especially the blonde woman she did have a very big rear that shook nice video and glad you edit out the Yodeling gonna comment on the two weird spanking first off do anyone think that these was play off as humor remember thinking the same thing when I watched the Cisco Kid and Pancho used spanking to punish the bad guys anyway this is not my Taste would have been Great if The Guardian had a shaply pretty woman across his knees trying to get a confession out of her or Spy Smasher whacking the behind of three tough ladies Maybe MM spanking plays more on humiliation the stronger guy decide to treat the weaker one as a boy and spanks him! or maybe the writter thought it would be funny to children Love the spanking in True Brides Experiences also love the way he carried her her cries to her parents for help and the father calling him a Monster prove this young lady was indeed a brat! really like the spanking on the Splash page with him spanking her across his knees while sating on the sofa! too bad today`s comic don`t have strong male characters spanking bratty adult female characters GREAT GREAT SPANKING FROM COMIC! AND GREAT PANELS THANKS !!!

[web-ed]

WHY is it, that so many early OTK spankings as depicted in the comics do NOT show the spanker fully seated, but in fact show him holding the spankee bent over properly, but in thin air, without being supported on his lap? I think I may know a partial answer.

There is a sizable minority in the spanking community that thinks true OTK spankings are somewhat "indecent" because they place the spankee's crotch in close proximity to that of the spanker.

Actually, Dan, I think the examples in comics such as Smilin' Jack with the spankee turned over in mid air instead of over the spanker's knee are pure compositional convenience, because in fact the OTK position could be used and was. That is not to say OTK was not considered erotic, but that somehow comics just got away with it until the about 1956 even though they started to come under heavy criticism in the late 40's. Let's see some examples:

Abbie and Slats (1944)


Airboy (1947)


Boots and Her Buddies #7 (1949)


Teen-Age Romances #3 (1949)


The OTK position is pretty good in all these examples. Now, comic books may simply have "flown under the radar" so to speak, since they were considered a children's medium and probably few adults read them until Fredric Wertham decided to blame juvenile delinquency on them starting in 1947, but it's harder to see why the strips were left alone. Yes, Smilin Jack was a strip, but so were Abbie and Slats and Boots and Her Buddies, and I have always suspected the 1949 spanking was a reprint of her Sunday strip from some years earlier although I've never been able to prove it. Possibly the strips escaped by being thought a humor medium, humor being somewhat antithetical to eroticism as I have observed many times.

On the other hand, the humor cartoon (a different medium from comics, remember) does seem very much to have shied away from the OTK position because of its erotic overtones. I will have more to say on this when I finally write my article on the history of the spanking cartoon. Thus we see the "bend over, get a swat" gag borrowed from burlesque used from the 1920's into the mid-50's when two secretary spanking cartoons finally employed the OTK position. The classic era of spanking cartoons in Humorama (1956-1960) followed.

In my article The Effects of the Comics Code on Spanking in Comics I explain how the Comics Code obviously saw adult M/F OTK spanking as erotic with devastating consequences during the 1956-1964 period: only one non-robot, non-parental M/F OTK spanking was permitted, in Career Girl Romances #45! Interestingly, father/daughter M/F scenes were apparently viewed as purely disciplinary and were unaffected.

Yet another avenue, spanking in non-Humorama men's magazines (subject-to-be of yet another article!) shows that the erotic potential of the OTK position was certainly recognized by the late 1940's. Robert E. Harrison's girlie mags are what I have in mind here, and they tried to preserve a sort of erotic-deniability by either pretending their M/F scenes were news stories (hah!), or by having a flimsy excuse for F/F "discipline," mostly (alas) the latter, as we will see in the future.

So we see that the question of the eroticism of the OTK position Dan raised is a complicated one indeed!
