Harem Pants and the Lack Thereof

So what is the actual name of that billowy garment associated with harem girls and belly dancers?  Harem Pants?  Turkish Trousers?  Genie Jeans?  I am uncultured and do not know.  Nevertheless, they are almost featured in this week's WolfieToon at "Discipline & Desire!"

And on that note--  did Jeannie just get a swat on her beautiful bottom?!

Well, no, not really!  Sorry!  Those pics are from the first season episode, "Jeannie and the Marriage Caper," after Captain (rank is correct) Nelson had shoved his Japanese Houseboy (Jeannie in disguise) away from the table via an elbow to the hip before he/she said something compromising to his fiance (!) and her father.  

And changing channels, here's young Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, undercover without much cover in "The Avengers" episode "Honey For the Prince.."

As she is shuffled off to the Harem, Emma hitches up those Turkish Trousers before they have to reshoot the scene for mid-1960's American TV:

 

And... 

Uh... 

Now I forgot what I was writing...

Writing, oh, yeah!  There are some fine stories over at ""D & D" this week. with some favorites who have been away returning!  Enjoy!

Howdy, Gang! More Bear Bottoms!

I bet you remember the first few times in your very early years that you saw some spanking on a cartoon show and thought, "Huh!"

So, the Spankin' Cowboy in the week's "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE" WolfieToon isn't just any Spankin' Cowboy-- he's a Kansas City Star!!

Y'see, Kids, back in the Olden Days of Only-Three-Channel, Mostly-Black-And-White Television, there were live (and taped) local children's programs, usually on weekdays after school, that followed the format established by Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody when the Medium was newer:  A Cowboy, or a Clown, or a Sailor, or Somesuch Host who cavorted with Puppet and People Sidekicks, doing live commercials with a studio audience of kids, and showing cartoons!

There were several I really liked.  One of 'em actually did come on TV grinnin' and wearin' pistols and a hat!  He wasn't a Kansas City Star, though, but was a hit in Oklahoma City whom we got to see while visiting the grandparents in the 60's.  His name was Foreman Scotty, 

and the unique appeal of his show was that besides the cartoons and studio bits, he'd show the adventures he had with his fellow ranch-hands, kinda like a lower-budget version of Gene Autry or Roy Rogers. 

But possibly my favorite was Kitirik on KTRK, Channel 13, when we lived in Houston, Texas.  Channel 13's logo-mascot was a black cat (get it?) and so their afternoon kids' show host, whose name came from their call letters, was a woman in a cat costume:  a wimple with ears, drawn-on whiskers, black leotard and gloves, a tail, and fishnet nose.  

Now, she never went Julie Newmar with this;  she was never sly, sultry and slinky, just fun, your playful big kitty buddy.  However, I'm sure the fathers who were home at that hour never minded peering at her over their papers.

They don't do this sort of thing these days because the Federal Communications Commission and their bosses decided that hapless children are unduly influenced to buy crap promoted by TV People, but mostly because owners of local stations would have to spend money to do it.

Anyhow, while watching these programs all those years ago, studying and honing my humor for my own cartooning career, I noticed that nearly every big cartoon star at some point spanked and / or got spanked:  Felix the Cat, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and even Bugs Bunny!  Of course, a lot of "one shot" or "limited" characters wound up with their ends up, too.

It never ever failed to grab my attention, but I began to feel it was disappointingly unfair that there were never any female characters getting spanked!  

For instance, you could count on Little Audrey winding up over someone's knee pretty frequently in the comics, but I never saw it in the animated cartoons!  There was the time she dreamed the fish sizzled her seat for a few seconds in the "eel-lecric chair," which pushed a couple of buttons...

I think it was Hermione who referred to Audrey and similar little girl characters as "white-bottomed cherubs!"  Maybe it would have been crossing a line to enjoy their fanny-whapping just a little too much?  Perhaps the owners of paddled po-pos should be a bit older, say, at least Tinker Bell's age...  

or like the young woman in the Hanna-Barbera "Speed Buggy" TV cartoon who got her butt buzzed by a bee!

Well, here's a dandy batch of stills that you may not have already seen.  They're from one of the better versions of  the story of "The Three Bears," a 1935 "Comicolor" cartoon done by animation pioneer and Mickey Mouse's co-creator, Ub Iwerks!

Near the climax, the bear family is chasing invader Goldie through the house and they all tumble into the closet.  In the ensuing fracas, Papa Bear thinks he's caught the culprit in the dark!  But as the door opens again, we see that he hasn't.

So Mama Bear clocks him, and the seat of Goldilocks' Minnie Mouse patched panties appears to be in grave peril.     

(SPOILER:  She escapes.)

Mark Twain's Speech On Masturbation

Yes, you read that right.  I ran across this gem in the book "Weird History" by John  Richard Stephens, and do recommend the book. 

Stephens notes the unspeakable things they were doing and saying to children and others regarding "self-love," and compares Twain to Lenny Bruce in that he used ribald humor to make a statement about society.  I've procured a copy online, and share it here for your edification and enjoyment.

Some Thoughts on the Science of Onanism

A speech delivered to the Stomach Club,

a society of American writers and artists,

Paris, 1879

by Mark Twain

MY GIFTED PREDECESSOR HAS WARNED you against the "social evil --- adultery."  In his able paper he exhausted that subject; he left absolutely nothing more to be said on it.  But I will continue his good work in the cause of morality by cautioning you against that species of recreation called self-abuse to which I perceive you are much addicted.  All great writers on health and morals, both ancient and modern, have struggled with this stately subject; this shows its dignity and importance.  Some of these writers have taken one side, some the other.

Homer, in the second book of the Iliad says with fine enthusiasm, "Give me masturbation or give me death."  Caesar, in his Commentaries, says, "To the lonely it is company; to the forsaken it is a friend; to the aged and to the impotent it is a benefactor.  They that are penniless are yet rich, in that they still have this majestic diversion."  In another place this experienced observer has said, "There are times when I prefer it to sodomy."

Robinson Crusoe says, "I cannot describe what I owe to this gentle art."  Queen Elizabeth said, "It is the bulwark of virginity."  Cetewayo, the Zulu hero, remarked, "A jerk in the hand is worth two in the bush."  The immortal Franklin has said, "Masturbation is the best policy."

Michelangelo and all of the other old masters--"old masters," I will remark, is an abbreviation, a contraction --- have used similar language.  Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, "Self-negation is noble, self-culture beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared with self-abuse."  Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems, refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time--"None knows it but to love it; none name it but to praise."

Such are the utterances of the most illustrious of the masters of this renowned science, and apologists for it.  The name of those who decry it and oppose it is legion; they have made strong arguments and uttered bitter speeches against it --- but there is not room to repeat them here in much detail.  Brigham Young, an expert of incontestable authority, said, "As compared with the other thing, it is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning."  Solomon said, "There is nothing to recommend it but its cheapness."  Galen said, "It is shameful to degrade to such bestial uses that grand limb, that formidable member, which we votaries of Science dub the Major Maxillary --- when they dub it at all --- which is seldom,  It would be better to amputate the os frontis than to put it to such use."

The great statistician Smith, in his report to Parliament, says, "In my opinion, more children have been wasted in this way than any other."  It cannot be denied that the high antiquity of this art entitles it to our respect; but at the same time, I think its harmfulness demands our condemnation.  Mr. Darwin was grieved to feel obliged to give up his theory that the monkey was the connecting link between man and the lower animals.  I think he was too hasty.  The monkey is the only animal, except man, that practices this science; hence, he is our brother; there is a bond of sympathy and relationship between us.  Give this ingenuous animal an audience of the proper kind and he will straightway put aside his other affairs and take a whet; and you will see by his contortions and his ecstatic expression that he takes an intelligent and human interest in his performance.

The signs of excessive indulgence in this destructive pastime are easily detectable.  They are these: a disposition to eat, to drink, to smoke, to meet together convivially, to laugh, to joke and tell indelicate stories--and mainly, a yearning to paint pictures.  The results of the habit are: loss of memory, loss of virility, loss of cheerfulness and loss of progeny.

Of all the various kinds of sexual intercourse, this has the least to recommend it.  As an amusement, it is too fleeting; as an occupation, it is too wearing; as a public exhibition, there is no money in it.  It is unsuited to the drawing room, and in the most cultured society it has long been banished from the social board.  It has at last, in our day of progress and improvement, been degraded to brotherhood with flatulence.  Among the best bred, these two arts are now indulged only in private --- though by consent of the whole company, when only males are present, it is still permissible, in good society, to remove the embargo on the fundamental sigh.

My illustrious predecessor has taught you that all forms of the "social evil" are bad.  I would teach you that some of these forms are more to be avoided than others.  So, in concluding, I say, "If you must gamble your lives sexually, don't play a lone hand too much."  When you feel a revolutionary uprising in your system, get your Vendome Column down some other way --- don't jerk it down.

Everybody Knows The Song, Few Remember Robert Burns Himself!

"Auld Lang Syne" used deliberately archaic language when the poem was new, but the sentiment itself remains always!  May your new year improve vastly upon the last, and may you toast everything and everyone that made you who you are, sharing the compassion born of your sorrows and the joy that makes life worthwhile!

I think the lovely lady in this week's WolfieToon at  "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE" is gonna want this ice, and not necessarily for the champagne.

Speaking of which...

Here's some auld advice that's appropriate-- if you're at a party and have the opportunity for hugging and kissing, keep BOTH  hands free in case you wanna add a loving grope and smack!

And here's a celebration from New Year's Eve 2007!  Phil "Overbarrel" thought it was hilarious that the guy in the back there is so hammered that he's spilling his drink down his front.  I'd take credit for that, but in truth... I just didn't draw it right!

I haven't done much here lately, but this blog just passed an anniversary that I'll address soon!  Meanwhile, enjoy the 'toons scattered here, all the way to the start, if you've patience to scroll and back-Blogger-- enjoy the new stories and snippets at "D & D"-- and enjoy your spankin' new year!

   

  

Warmest Wishes!

A post or two ago I featured Santa Spanking fantasies;  but there is a holiday ballet I understand is a favorite of little girls of all ages, even though it doesn't prominently feature ponies.  Therefore the Christmas Week WolfieToon at "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE" has a scene from the new production of "The Butt Smacker!"

That's a detail for the girls... here's one for the boys.

And here's the poster from our very first production.  

  

One of my high school buddies told me the story of how, in her ballet class training, they were required to be able to hold a poker chip between their flexed buttocks.

That creates quite a mental image, a room full of ballerinas-in-training developing powerful and shapely gluteal muscles so that paddles and paint sticks do no real damage. 

May you enjoy holiday warmth of all sorts!  Oh, I forgot to mention, there are lots of new stories and snippets to enjoy in front of the fire at "D & D," too!

Glowing Gentle Into That Good Night

The young woman in this week's "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE" WolfieToon doesn't look unduly alarmed at her dire predicament.  As a matter of fact, she actually seems to be enjoying herself!!

Now, why should that be?  One possible answer is also the answer to the query, "And just where does this gal have her left hand?"

There is another possibility.  I based this couple on actual people I had seen, out and about, but after completing the cartoon, I realized that Suzanne Spankee here looks-- by mere happenstance-- kinda like Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart in "Night At The Museum II!"

So perhaps her intrepid daredevilmaycare attitude in the face of certain spanking is derived from the spirit of Amelia?

If so, she might serve as an example for other naughty li'l elves, like the one in one of my first  "D & D" Christmas creations!

By the by, there are free holiday chapters and story snippets over at the website, and an plethora of pleasure for you "D&D" members, as always!

Over Santa's Lap?! The Heck You Say!

This week's WolfieToon at "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE"  is the first of three Christmas-themed ones!

Springrose wanted to know if I had anyone in particular in mind when drawing that Imp;  she thought there was something slightly Erica Scott-esque  there.  But I really didn't have anyone in mind, and Golly, it would never occur to me to cast Erica as a li'l devil.  (Ahem cough.)

Kaki says she's "grateful we (Imps) only have to be good for two more weeks.  Phew!"

Larken declared that "a PreTemptive Spanking is unfair!!" 

Thank you very much, Dolls!  I'm delighted you're delighted!

You know, when the Web was new, I was initially surprised to find out what a common fantasy Santa Spanking is, especially among the ladies!  For example: 

Chross has ten pages of Christmas Spanking Images up HERE, and the Jolly One figures in most of 'em!  (I'm proud to say there are two WolfieToons included!  Thanks, Chross!)

Lea has written a most evocative and enjoyable story called "CHRISTMAS DREAMING!"

Season has an, er, entertaining take on Santa Spankage entitled "DEAR SANTA!"

To show only one of my many favorite photographic images, there's so much I love about this one with Richard Windsor and Pixie Wells! 

Phil "Overbarrel" has taken us to the North Pole for several years to see what goes on in Santa's Workshop with his assistants, the Hiney Sisters!  Dig the Grinning Teddy Bear!!

So now I'll add two from "D & D."   I'm not real crazy about the drawing in this one from 2005, but it is unique among Santa Spanking Stuff!

And here's one that has No Actual Smacking... although it is one of the very few WolfieToons to have had a sequel! 

Now you're starting to feel some Holiday Warmth, eh?

Well, the Christmas tails have started going up at "D & D", too.

I mean "tales."

Actually, I mean both.

Revolting Credit Issues

If you have succumbed to the shopkeepers' maddening notion that you are obliged, nay, required to get a gift, preferably an expensive one, for every single person you've ever known at home or work every December, you should be rewarded with a searing seat.

Now if you happen to desire a searing seat, there are much easier ways to accomplish that, ones that will result in sitting uncomfortably and not bankruptcy and unrelieved guilt..

And if you are unable to find joy in anything but spending money, you might benefit from therapy sessions such as the one demonstrated in the WolfieToon this week at "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE!"   As a matter of fact, it may help with a lot of different issues.

(There is also some pleasant distraction at "D&D" with free story samples, and of course, a wealth of fiction and images each week for members!)

Giving Thanks and Spanks, 2012!

Many comics and pundits have pointed out the irony of the "Black Friday" X-Mas shopping surge that has intruded upon the very afternoon of Thanksgiving, with thousands bursting into shops to buy more fairly unnecessary stuff.  Nevertheless, I still think a day set aside to remember all the people and things in our lives for which to be grateful is a very good idea!

So here is a detail from this week's WolfieToon at "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE"

It's a Rosey Thanksgiving!  Y'know, that name seems familiar... Hmmm... Well, I'm sure that exactly to whom it might allude will Spring to mind in a moment.  Meanwhile, Larken has composed the rest of the song the Choir Here Invisible is singing!

We gather together to watch Rosey's spanking.

He chastens, and hastens his will to make known.

Though turkey is waiting, they'll postpone the thanking;

Despite the dust bunnies, his lap o'er she's thrown.

He chides her and guides her, the spanks, they are raining;

Ordaining, maintaining his kitchen divine.

So from the beginning, our Rosie wasn't winning;

We never, no never on fungus will dine.

The spanking is ouchy, but no one is grouchy.

Who knows if it's better to give than receive.

Let this congregation observe her elation,

As Rosie gives thanks to be over his knee.

Thanks, Larken!!

Here now is the very first Thanksgiving cartoon I did for "D & D":

But this one still tends to be my favorite.  I posted it here last year, but neither of us want to have to go scrolling along Blogger Way to see it: 

Enjoy your weekend!!
