Hiya Web-ed... This week's updates brought a big smile to my face.
Like many other folks who follow comic spankings, I have long wondered about that panel that shows a young lady in "secretary" clothes, bending over to receive swats from a fellow office worker (he's male). And yes, her comment about "Harder! I deserve it!" is wonderfully titillating.
Unfortunately, those of us who have seen copies of this panel over the years still don't know whence this drawing came, from what comic or from what cartoonist, and as you mentioned, we still don't know the plot that culminated in this cute scene. Since I have been a member here at CSR, I have often wondered what YOU, Web-ed, would say about this panel once you got around to posting it. Shame that even you, the foremost researcher in the art of comic book spanks, don't know the toon's background. But the first scan you show on the Updates page is the best I've seen, so I'm super-grateful that you brought it to us. That's progress of a sort, I guess.
I can offer you this clue: The lady being paddled is wearing a skirt that is a dead ringer for the skirts developed in the 1950s, under the umbrella "The New Look," by designer Christian Dior. 'Tis said that the high point of "The New Look" came in 1957... and at any rate, the long, wide calf-length poodle skirts developed by Dior and his imitators had a very short shelf life. By the early 1960s, women went back to wearing knee-length skirts, and that of course evolved into the Miniskirt Era. So the best place to look for this cartoon would probably be the mid-1950s.
The second toon you give us this week is the best of the bunch, for it is the beautiful drawing of Disney's "the Beast" swatting "Belle" as she bends over the spanking horse, her hands tied together. This drawing is a glory to behold, as Kevin Karstens has so faithfully depicted it, even to the anthropomorphic paddle in the Beast's hand. It's a win-win for everyone, as even "Belle" enjoys her spanking!
As I've said, the Beauty and the Beast drawing is the best one this week. It's a shame that I will not be able to save it to my own files, since I collect only M/F OTK and no nudity. But it's a guilty pleasure for me, so I expect I will revisit this toon in the CSR boards for quite some time.
The Henry Scarpelli toon, showing a shapely miss bending over for a "tardiness" spanking, is quite nice also. I see that you have found a scan that includes a bit more of the lady's legs than we had in the previous scan. Speaking as a professional cartoonist, I strongly suspect that if we could find a scan of the
complete cartoon, it would show us the rest of her, including her feet, and probably also including the artist's signature. Single panels are not complete without that info.
And of course I love the wristwatch cartoon, showing a fellow who is "winding" his watch by spanking his lady. I agree with you that the lady is probably being
ironic with her comment that it's "wonderful" that he can wind his watch while he spanks her. Hmmm... did you mean ironic or sarcastic?

Either way, we get to see the spanking, and it's presented to us in a conventional way. The man has his lady over his lap, he is spanking her vigorously, and she is wearing a blouse, a skirt, and high heels. Nothing exotic, just a good ol' OTK spanking. Just the way we like it.
The pic of "Wonder Woman" getting an interactive paddling is okay as far as the artwork goes. As I mentioned before, I am not a big fan of nudity in cartoons, so I won't be keeping this one. But a good effort by Doc Cylon, or whoever concocted this drawing.
Another great effort by you, Web-ed. Hope you keep 'em coming. We are all grateful for your efforts on our behalf. And of course I will be keeping my eyes peeled for any cartoon spankings that may have escaped your intensive research.
Cheers,
Dan
