I hope no one had trouble with the board this week - I tried twice to update it and failed. Eventually I realized that it's our web host's software that isn't quite modern enough to accommodate the latest version of the board, so I put everything back the way it was. I think we can manage with our current version for quite some time if we have to.
Next, the
January Spanking Search Report:
Pages searched: 4410
Total: 561720
Comic Spankings: 11
With 11 comic spankings discovered (not counting Sweetspot's contributions), you'd think it was a good month - but not one of these things was M/F

! The gory details for those who care:
1. Peter the Little Pest #2 (Jan 1970 Marvel) – M/M, Father / Peter, Over the arm, hand. Reprinted from an uncertain issue of
Melvin the Monster and an obvious rip-off of Dennis the Menace.
2. Polly and Her Pals (02/23/1937, King Features Syndicate) – M/M Polly’s father / her cousin, OTK, Hand – buys new safe that gets burglarized
3. Polly and Her Pals (12/04/1937, King Features Syndicate) – M/M Polly’s father / her cousin, OTK, Hand – pretends to be broadcasting on radio
4. Belles and Wedding Bells/And Then They Were Married (Sunday 10/17/1937, King Features, apparently sold along with Polly and Her Pals by Cliff Sterrett) – F/M Wife / Husband, OTK, violin (as paddle). Wife is apparently upset that husband doesn’t serenade her any more. Wordless strip.
5. Ben Webster’s Page (05/16/1937, J. Jerome Williams) - M/M Mr. Snoopie / Boy, OTK, Hairbrush – no reason given for the spanking.
6. Freckles and His Friends (04/25/1937, 07/25/1937, NEA Service) – M/M, Father / Freckles, OTK, Hand – Freckles refuses to carry wood; 2nd reason unclear
7. Startling Comics #17 (Oct. 1942, Pines) – F/M, Mother / Happy, OTK, Hand. From the Happy (formerly Happy and his Pappy) strip. Happy encounters many dangers, getting his clothes dirty, and is spanked by his mother when he gets home. Script and art by Kin Platt.
8. Captain Easy (03-28-1937) – M/M Ben Barton / Junior OTK Hand. Spoiled brat gets expelled from college.
9. Coo Coo Comics #29 (Sept. 1946, Pines?) – F/M Miss Tinklehoffer / Supermouse OTK Hand and ruler. She was his teacher in school (seen in flashback) and when he goes back, she spanks him again for being late. Really two spankings.
Write me if you want copies of any of these, which will go into the Data Base later today.
Peter the Little Pest was one of those I discovered by working through catalogs and then getting a copy of the actual book. I didn't have much hope for it, so in that sense I wasn't disappointed.
Captain Easy has given us several good M/F spankings so we can't complain too much about this one, but we still don't have to like it.
Polly and Her Pals - this is an old strip that may not be familiar to
CSR readers, but thanks to
Sweetspot, its name will come up again soon, and with a M/F spanking.

He also found a M/F spanking in
Freckles and his Friends (note the similarity to
Polly and Her Pals), but unfortunately it takes place off-panel.
Happy and His Pappy: I only mention this one because it was the work of
Kin Platt. Strangely, I never knew that Platt wrote comics, or that he could draw. I always thought of him as an author of books for young people. I got a copy of his book
The Blue Man through scholastic books when I was still in grade school. A quick check reveals he also created the Supermouse character who appeared in Coo Coo Comics #29 referenced above. (Platt died in 2003.)
O.K., time to begin another
Romantic Spanking Month! I've got four very nice, never-before-seen spankings from romance comics I discovered last year (with some help from
Bishop Berkely and
Robin, and I hope I haven't left anyone out). One of these was made the hard way, with an actual copy of the book in question, while the other three were found by going through hundreds of scanned pages.
The one we have this week,
"A Private Affair" from
Heart Throbs #4 is the least of the four, the spanking being given by the girl's father, but it's by no means a bad scene and certainly well-deserved! And it goes up from here.
Next Week: Romantic Spanking Month continues with a high-spirited filly who runs across the hombre who can tame her in the western saga "I Met My Master". And expect some surprises when we start digging into the history of this story
