Hi, web-ed. Thanks for the comments and the well-wishes!

I posted the first one in 2001, and moved her to Artastic after the old Yahoo group hosted by Arlis Karlsen shut down. C.S.R. seems like home to her, with Phil and Dan around to watch her get her many spankings. I appreciate that you've provided a friendly environment for my type of cartooning.
web-ed wrote:"Katie's Birthday" was a cute and fun romp. I'd have to check back, but I can't remember the last time Katie got the hairbrush. It's certainly an effective implement, as any brat who's felt one will testify. By the way, the monogram on the brush looked like an "L" - was this brush once used on the Dizzie Lizzy show? The birthday spanking itself was cute.
Yeah! That was very observant of you to notice the "L" monogram on Katie's hairbrush. When I first introduced Dizzie Lizzie, I had an idea for a television repairman story... but in this day and age there are no more television repairmen. When something goes wrong with TVs nowadays. we just go to the nearest Walmart and buy a new one! So then... In the first Dizzie Lizzie story, I explained that Lizzie McGill was Katie's Grandma, and that she had starred in a TV sit-com in her youth. (Or maybe, more appropriately... a CAN'T-sit-com, since Lizzie got spanked twice in that story!

) Grandma's old wooden hairbrush is a treasured family heirloom that once belonged to her dear grandmother... AND it's a handy-dandy spanking implement that has warmed the bottoms of AT LEAS%T two women (that we've seen so far) in Katie's family.
web-ed wrote:O.K., then Katie shows up late for work. The humor here, and it was quite funny, lies in Katie's naive expectation that nobody at the office knows it's her birthday. Then when she arrives she finds everybody from the boss to the office boy lined up for their chance to spank her! As usual, Katie is the last one to realize that she's going to get spanked.
Yeah! I'm glad you liked that. Katie should've known that all of her male co-workers would go to great lengths to find out when her birthday is and wait anxiously for the big day to arrive! It's a shame that the politically correct crowd, and the sexual harassment sue-ers have made birthday spankings in the workplace a thing of the past! Of course, in Katie's world, they can and do still occur!
web-ed wrote:So, should the story end here? Well, it is complete in itself - that is, no more is necessary. For it to continue, you would probably have to picture Katie at her desk after her mass-spanking - standing up, of course - and then contrive some way to get her spanked again after that so that we have an "Oh, no!" moment on Katie's part.
Yeah. I think you're right.
