Agreed, Willjohn. Annie should have expected some swats to the fanny!willjohn wrote:It seems that Saint Valentine's day this leap year brought Little Annie Fanny more butt slaps than proposals.
The reaction to one with the Stillisons tool (Americans call it a wrench) was a bit of an overreaction.
(Fridays come to Willjohn before most other CSR readers - I think he's 11 hours ahead of Chicago time - so he commented before I could post this weekly update announcement, which I hope eliminates any confusion.)
Let's get the Jan. search report done first:
January Comics Pages
Pages searched: 4727
Total: 624847
Comic Spankings: 0
Yeah, another goose egg. It's not all that surprising, though, when you consider I'm mostly searching western comics with a few romance ones from the "Dead Zone" of 1956-65. At least the pile is shrinking.
O.K., on to the update: Doctor Cylon Month continues with a demonstration that "The Plumber's Curse" (pants falling down while working under the sink) is no curse at all when the plumber looks like Little Annie Fanny - with many variations on this Julius Zimmerman masterwork

Next Week: Doctor Cylon Month continues with the beginning of a Jungle Girl mini-series: Lani the jungle girl kindly bends over to provide the Good Doctor an ample surface upon which to exercise his coloring skills - and exercise them he does

As I think I mentioned, getting started with all of Doc Cylon's new stuff ("new" meaning we haven't seen it before) is my priority now that the Comic Strip Series has ended. After that, I think getting back to Humorama and getting out the remainder of the Kevin Karstens/Bawdy Bard material is next in importance, so that will be my goal along with clearing out the mail (which is taking place, but slowly).
In that mailbox was some interesting new material, including Betty getting whacked with a tennis racquet much the way Veronica did (in fact it's Veronica who swings the racquet this time). I suppose that means we'll be having a Homecoming Week this year after Labor Day but it's hard to think that far ahead. It's hard to think about any CSR issues right now, although I'm still functioning on autopilot as I code new updates.
The truth is that the news from Phil Overbarrel about his declining health has come as a terrible shock to me - I mean a personal shock, not an editorial one, although the gap he's leaving at CSR with him being unable to create further spanking stories for us will be impossible to fill.

However, we will soldier on even as we hope and pray for Phil. There are still some good things in the spanking world, and we're going to continue exploring them together. Doctor Cylon Month is, I feel, a very good start, and there's much more to come.
