The Humorama Tote Board

I thought I was making too many Humorama posts, so I decided to create this Tote Board as a sticky to keep track of where we are instead of posting a reply each time I made a new discovery. I'll update this post whenever there is significant new information regarding Humorama spanking cartoons.
Humorama X/F cartoons already posted - 229 (as of 02/26/2021)
New cartoons waiting to be posted - 0
Known to exist and positively identified as Humorama but no good scan available - 3
Not counted because identity as Humorama is not known with certainty - 2 (these are by Bill Wenzel and believed by me to have come from other as yet unidentified magazines in the 1950s)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Humorama - 232 (up from 229)
2020-21: Humorama Series resumes with 14 additional cartoons.
2019: The only spanking cartoon by Bill Cellers is discovered, "Summertime Spanking" from 1959.
2017: New George Morrice discovered from 1959.
2016: New cartoons discovered from all three periods: a George Morrice probably from 1956 (found the 70's reprint); several by Ward from the 1960's, which is important because none had been known from that period; and two more by Wenzel from 1973.
2015: I recently confirmed the authenticity of Mayer's "Home Remedy". That leaves us only the one by Bill Wenzel that Dan Rivera posted. It was probably Humorama and will be added to the Series once I have proof. At the time I first put the Humorama Series on hiatus because I had run out of cartoons (August 2013) I estimated there were 10 more cartoons from the classic period (1955 - 1960); eight of these have since been discovered and posted and five more discovered since then. That means I really don't expect to find anything more from the classic period, but there are still about 35 digests to examine and of course something could still be out there. There are also an unknown number from the 1970's still waiting to be discovered, my guess being any remaining date from early in Humorama's last decade, say 1972-73.
The Humorama Spanking Cartoon Data Base will generally have the latest numbers broken down by cartoonist, as well as a search facility to help you find the cartoons of any particular artist. However, cartoon in my files but not yet posted are not in the DB either.
