- The second half of the 20 new variations (we discovered one more this week) Doctor Cylon did on Dean Yeagle's Mandy
!
- After five years The Humorama Series makes its triumphant return with the first in a series of new Humorama spanking cartoons
!
Our other update is the first new Humorama spanking cartoon in five years. It's certainly not the greatest, but remember, you go out on a high note - you don't necessarily come in on one. Consequently, I think I'll present the three new cartoons from artists we haven't seen doing them before getting to the bigger guns like Bill Ward and Bill Wenzel. There are 13 more new ones after this week, and we'll see approximately one per month as I continue to rotate the updates between our various galleries. Possibly there may be another short hiatus during Super-Spanking Summer as I'm not at all sure I can manage three updates in one week.
I've updated the Humorama Tote Board (no link since we're already at the limit, but you can find it easily) to reflect the latest information. 233 (up from 229) spanking cartoons are now known to exist, although I don't have good scans for two of them. Two Wenzel cartoons were thought to be Humorama but I now believe they came from some other source. A tiny number of digests from the classic period of 1955-60 remain stubbornly out of the reach of my search.
One problem I faced in resuming the Series is that I started posting Humorama spanking cartoons right from the beginning of CSR (I think I had two or three), and 51 were posted before I got the idea for a series and data base of them. That made it difficult to reconcile the Humorama Data Base with the numbering of the Humorama Series, which to complicate matters further began with a spanking verse (no cartoon). I decided to solve these problems by designating one of the old cartoons as the new #1, then I added the other 50 to the series (this meant recoding 51 pages) as numbers 168 - 217. Today's update, then, was assigned #218.
All that is for the benefit of anyone who was about to say, "Hey, didn't we leave off with #167? How did we get to #218?"

Ah, Chicago Spanking Review - come for the spankings, stay for a lecture on the Theory of Relativity
