It's hard to rank these things, but the current
Comic Strip Series may be the most ambitious project we have ever undertaken at
CSR, although of course the first Strip Series (ten years ago now!), masterminded by myself and
JimC., and the original
Humorama Series (2011 - 2014, if memory serves) fueled by the 60's cartoon reprints from
Mike D.'s collection, were certainly worthy projects as well. I don't have complete statistics, but we must have presented at least 150 new spankings this time around (I'll present what stats I have in a moment). It's been a wild ride, and I couldn't have done it without these people (and my sincerest apologies if I've left anyone out; I really did try to take notes so I could thank everyone):
- Andre
- Alan
- Archie
- Bishop Berkeley
- Collegeboy
- JS666
- Pygmalion
- Tim and Michael
and of course my very special thanks to
Phil Sweetspot, our own Chief Strip Researcher

, whose incredible research included many new contributions to our collection of strip spankings as well as clearing up some old mysteries (something Phil really takes pride in) and lots of non-strip newspaper spankings to boot. Without him we wouldn't have had much of a series. Here are the numbers I kept:
Sweetspot’s Counts
New X/F Spankings: 74
Identified Spankings: 4
Yes, 74 new X/F comic strip spankings!

That's a lot of sore female bottoms. He also identified 4 that were previously known but for which there were no details. And there were some X/M spankings I didn't keep statistics on for those who like such things. How many dates did he nail down? I didn't keep track, but the
Comics Spanking Data Base is a lot more accurate now because of his research.
I can't say that I have a particular favorite from among Phil's discoveries, but I will remind everyone of the incredible spanking-themed plot of
Oaky Dokes during which even Queen Guenevere herself gets her royal rump roasted by Sir Oaky

, the long sought after fifth spanking from
Abbie an' Slats, and the multiple, satisfying spankings of those two young heroines
Diana Dane and
Etta Kett. Take a good look at the
Comics Gallery 2 index page and browse through the thumbnails - you'll be impressed!
So on behalf of everyone, Phil, thanks for all your work - it will not be forgotten as long as CSR stands! (And our spankees continue to avoid sitting down

). I can only hope we both live long enough for me to update the
Newspaper Gallery with your many finds.
And speaking of the future, let's talk about
Next Week: We need a little breather to fully prepare for the New Year, and we'll get it by presenting the long-delayed work of fiction by Gesperax,
Crime and Punishment. You may not be able to guess the
crime, but you'll surely guess what the
punishment is

! If we can manage something else, something simple like a page update, we'll throw that in also.
