Good Night, Irene! I Mean, Lois!

Nightie spanking is really cute and sexy, no?

I've always thought so, even at age ten, when I stumbled upon this scene in a reprint of "Three Nights In The Fortress of Solitude!"

You've seen that picture before, but if you want the full context, I explained it all in this early and goofy WolfieBlog post .

But, you know, it always kinda bugged me that the panel didn't look like this:

(I generally frown on cartoon alteration, but that's because it's almost always done so badly, and the perpetrator rarely admits the deed!  Then people think the original cartoonist couldn't draw!  Well, I admit the changes here!  I dood it!!  And pretty well, eh?)

Probably artist Kurt Schaffenberger, or his editor, or the Comics Code Authority censors decided my version would be a little too sexy instead of Lucille Ball humorous.

Because Kurt was never shy about gluteal anatomical details in other contexts

and even in this scene, drawn about eight years after Lois fell over the Superman Robot Guard's knee!

But, that's a boy!!

Only Li'l Iodine, Little Audrey, Little Dot, Little Lulu, Little Lotta and other Little Girls ever got spanked on the seat of their panties in full view of their comics reading audience;  the Big Girls never did, in American Comics.  But wouldn't it have been cute if Lois had?

And just imagine the furor that would have erupted if it had looked like this?!

But we can dream now, can't we?

Wild, wicked Wolfie.
