Wow, a nice set of new updates this week, Web-ed.
You've posted two of my favorite Dan DeCarlo toons, the "It's not my birthday!" pic plus the gentleman spanking the maid. The latter, as you said, is my favorite of all the DeCarlos. Probably it's because the positioning is so damn perfect. The man is seated straight up, in an armless straight-back chair; the girl is posed provocatively across his lap, ready to be spanked, with her bottom in a perfect position for him to whale away.
By the way, someone on this board, maybe you, maybe someone else, complained that DeCarlo's spankers always have their legs spread too far apart. I demur from that view. Here, the gent has his two legs at an ideal distance from each other. The girl's boobs lie easily over his left leg, while her exquisite fanny rests directly over his right leg, in a perfect position to receive the "loving" spanks she will be receiving. I agree that the first caption,
"Gee, Mister Woodrod, I hope I pass your stern requirements"
is superior to the alternate, which reads
"I'm going to have a hard time explaining this to your son!" (What does that even MEAN?)
That first caption -- which I believe is the original intended by Dan DeCarlo and his publisher -- makes a lot of tingly sense, as the girl is openly stating that she hopes she passes the test the man is putting her to, and makes a pun out of it... "stern" means both serious and backside... but her expression displays some dismay, as if to tell us she is not enjoying her ordeal, but is putting up with it to land this job of being his maid. If she does pass his stern requirements, no doubt she will be cleaning and tidying up his house and occasionally receiving further spankings. The possibilities are endless, and fun to contemplate.
In the "It's not my birthday!" toon, the naïve little dear seems to truly believe Mr. Kringle has mixed up his dates and thinks he is giving her a routine birthday spanking. We know better, of course. In fact, "we" -- meaning me -- have frequently pretended the girl we are spanking is getting a birthday spanking. If she complains that "I'm not that old!!!" we just tell her: "Well, I'm including all your past birthdays that I missed!"
The French cartoon depicting a spanking in the forest is awfully good, too. Very well drawn, with bold shading to impart a sense of realism. Prude that I am, I have copied this toon and pasted it into one of my folders, but not before I covered up the lady's breasts. I'm not a big fan of nude spanking, and this drawing comes pretty close to that. For example, WHERE are her panties? Best way to enjoy a picture like this is to make her non-nude and check out the swats to her very yummy rear end.
Good stuff, Web-ed.
Cheers,
Dan
