Happy Thanksgiving, all! If you're feeling weighed down by that turkey dinner, this week's update should lighten things up:
The Comic Strip Series continues with the
fourth spanking from Polly and Her Pals - new discovery from Andre!
In going through all of Andre's strip discoveries, I found quite a few that won't be posted in CSR, mainly because they involved children. They did need to be added to the Comic Spankings Data Base however, and except for the Superman one that has now been accomplished. For the curious, here is the list:
1. Captain Easy – Ben Barton spanks his spoiled son instead of his socialite wife.
2. Freckles and His Friends 04-16-1925, NEA Service – M/M OTK Hand Father/Tas spanked for playing with shaving cream.
3. Freckles and His Friends 09-03-1938 – M/M OTK Hand camp counselor Freckles spanks spoiled Bradford who’s been playing pranks on him.
4. Freckles and His Friends 06-04-1924 - M/M OTK Hand. Freckles spanks another kid – yeesh!
5. Fritzi Ritz 11-14-1935 United Feature Syndicate – F/M OTK hand. Fritzi wants to spank Hamilton but is afraid of losing her job, so she pretends she’s dusting off the seat of his trousers while spanking him. By Ernie Bushmiller.
6. Gasoline Alley 01-03-1937 Chicago Tribune Syndicate. M/M Gang / Skeezix, kneeling ski. Skeezix gets paddled by the guys using skiis.
7. Mandrake 11-24-1935 King Features Syndicate. F/M Mother / Taro OTK Hand. Mother spanks Taro for wandering off into the woods, where this time he was saved from danger by Mandrake.
8. Mandrake 01-09-1937. M/M Lothar/Andy OTK Hand. Lothar spanks Andy the Neanderthal man. Horrible!
9. Mandrake 04-18-1938. Mother/Sonny, OTK, Hand. Sonny the spoiled child movie star asks Mandrake what he needs most to improve his career, and Mandrake causes the spanking image to appear.
10. Mandrake 09-26-1956. In the year 52,000 AD Jonny X197C uses a forbidden time machine to bring Mandrake & friends there from the past. A public spanking – the first in 200 years - is the penalty.
11. Superman (strip) 1943. Lois spanks her niece Susie for pushing Clark out the window to see if he was Superman. Lois should have been spanked for trying similar schemes herself. Siegel and Shuster.
Some observations:
1. Freckles spent too much time spanking boys and not near enough spanking girls! That's the kind of thing that could have seriously warped him, and perhaps it did.
2. Mandrake gave us two fine spankings (both M/F) but he also blew a lot of good opportunities for more. A futuristic public spanking - and it's M/M?

What were they thinking?
3. The
Superman Lois/Susie spanking panel has been seen around the 'net for years, but I believe Andre was the first to at least identify the year as 1943.
4. I've never understood why Skeezix is almost always the spankee in
Gasoline Alley. There were plenty of female characters, but so far we have only one M/F spanking from the strip. Still, it ran for so many years (from 1918 or 1919) there could still be something out there, but spanking doesn't seem to have been uppermost on Frank King's mind.
Next Week: We go back a long way to a feature called
Toonerville, and we might also get to that fiction from Gesperax we didn't post this week.
