The Humor of Joe Gravel

I've discovered some more of Joe Gravel's work recently, some spanking and some non-spanking. I wanted to post some of the non-spanking stuff here now - for one thing, we're winding up the
Batman Family and
Wonder Girl series this week, and this gives us a chance to chuckle at the sight of a bare-bottomed Batgirl and explain again about Wonder Girl's costumes (sort of). Here we go:
1. Batgirl has gone up against the Riddler and narrowly escaped his flying buzzsaw - or so she thinks. Actually, the buzzsaw has removed the seat of her costume, which is exactly the kind of device I'd use if I were a super-villain.

The wonderful thing here is that it looks like the Riddler is in position to take Batgirl across his knee, and the subsequent spanking would be more effective than Batgirl expected given her bare-bottomed condition!
2. Next we have the second
Wonder Girl, Donna Troy, wearing her second costume. Her Teen Titans teammate
Beast Boy (Gar Logan, a/k/a Changeling) has changed himself into a squirrel so he can get a better view from the bathroom window as she undresses to take a shower. But because he remains green in all his animal forms, she has no trouble recognizing him.
3. Here's another scene with the
Teen Titans featuring Donna's first costume (more or less: Gravel couldn't resist showing some cleavage and shortening her shorts). The good thing about this one is that Donna's failure to respond quickly to the emergency of an attack by the evil Dr. Light is surely grounds for team leader
Robin to give her a spanking later on

hi web-ed,
i got a chuckle from the flying buzz saw drawing

. i'm betting her expression won't be quite so smug once she discovers that her bare bottom is hanging out

. i also liked the green squirrel in the Beast Boy drawing. you have to admit..............it's a good idea

. the squirrel reminds me of some of the animals Dave Wolfe uses in his Wolfietoons. one of his viewers wrote and told him how much she liked one of the animal character he had drawn (i don't remember which one it was now) but her comment was something like, "i loved the scruffy looking cat". anyway, ever since then Dave had kind of lumped all his animal characters under the title of "scruffies"...........and i think this one would qualify for that too

. in any case, that's a suitably evil smile on the squirrel's face

. in the Robin WG drawing...............update my facebook status...........HUMFPT! i'd love to blister her bottom..............for more than one obvious reason

. thanks for posting these. phil

Since I posted a Joe Gravel spanking cartoon in this week's updates, it seems fitting to do four more of his non-spanking cartoons that nevertheless feature some superheroine's fanny
1.
The Wasp can't resist using her sting on the
Scarlet Witch's behind. I know how she feels, although I'd have selected a paddle myself.
2. This one's a little confusing, but it appears that
Supergirl sneezed and her heat vision burned off the seat of
Batgirl's costume, leaving her bare-bottomed once again. (See my post above for the Gravel cartoon where the Riddler used a buzzsaw to achieve the same effect.)
3.
Beast Boy disguises himself as Krypto when he pulls
Supergirl's shorts down, but his green color gives him away. (Note: Beast Boy can assume any animal form, but its color is always green like his skin.)
4. This one's really strange: the guy in the background in the villain
Despero, who goes all the way back to
Justice League of America #1 (Oct. 1960). From the color of the arrow, I'd say an offstage
Green Arrow has badly missed his shot, which wound up poking a female version of
the Flash in her behind! But instead of this trans-gender stuff, which was also a staple of Adam Walters, why not simply have
Black Canary or even more obviously
Wonder Woman on the receiving end since they were both Justice Leaguers

And why is this female-Flash running into battle stark naked?

hi web-ed,
from these pics, i'd say that Joe Gravel likes big breasts and especially nipples

. even at that, he does draw some nice, spankable bottoms

. i particularly like the one of Batgirl with the seat of her pants sneezed out

and the one with beast boy as a dog pulling down Supergirl's shorts.........reminds me of the old Coppertone billboards, only better

. thanks for sharing these with us. i enjoyed them. phil

Here's some more we better do while
Super-Spanking Summer 4 is still going on and superheroines are on everyone's minds.
1.
Jimmy Olsen with X-Ray Specs: hey, I didn't know those things worked! But in the silly Mort Weisenger era, Superman's friends were constantly gaining super-powers, and Olsen was young enough to want to use X-ray vision for other than medical purposes. Here, he examines Lois Lane. The way she's bending over this would be a great time for some paddling.
2. One of DC's more interesting titles during the '60's was
The Doom Patrol.
Mento was never actually a member, but he romanced and eventually married
Elasti-Girl. His helmet gave him the power of psycho-kinesis, which allowed him to move solid object, like, um, we see here:
3.
Captain Marvel's arch-enemy was
Dr. Sivana, although we're not sure he was actually licensed to practice medicine.
Mary Marvel may be wondering about that also, as he prepares to give her a shot in the portion of her anatomy that has been bared for the occasion

:
4. Finally, we see the
Wasp asking "To sting or not to sting, that is the question." The tempting target in this picture probably belongs to The Scarlet Witch, whom we saw in the previous set of Joe Gravel drawings. We'd have to say "Sting!" but better still would be a good spanking, which also stings

hi web-ed,
again, Gravel has presented us with some nicely rounded and spankable female bottoms

. too bad he doesn't present these in a spanking situation. Jimmy Olsen is, of course, using the X-ray specs for the proper purpose and those were always my thoughts when reading Superman comic books even though that kind of stuff never happened in them

.to sting or not to sting indeed..........what a question

any of our members armed with a hairbrush could answer it easily

. thanks for sharing these. phil

I wish I remembered the rubber Phantom ring. I did have a Bazooka Joe decoder ring for a little while in the late 60's.

In the 1950s the Phantom comics in Australia advertised Phantom ring that could be bought by filling in an order form on the back page of the comics. Most were metal & cheap gemstones but there was a rubber one that left the skull imprint on anybody or anything that came in contact with it.

The rubber one would have been cool. It would have left a nice skull imprint on the Scarlet Witch's fanny (above), for one thing...

A new definition of head up the ass?
Wonder Woman and Black Canary Search for Plastic Man
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2016 2:11 pm
by web-ed
I'm doing several things featuring
Black Canary this week, so this would see to be an appropriate time to present a Joe Gravel cartoon featuring BC. It seems that
Wonder Woman is searching for
Plastic Man, but he's closer than she thinks, as BC realizes:

No "wonder" Plas is smiling!

Oh yeah, the set-up is
perfect for the Superman/Supergirl spanking that should have taken place in the comics but never did (The "Holy Grail" as I once referred to it, having
searched all of Supergirl's Silver Age appearances looking for it).
Good find, B00m! I know I have some more of Gravel's stuff in the files, but I don't remember the details off-hand - I think
Doctor Cylon may have contributed some of them - nor can I say when I'll finally get around to posting them.
