Wondering About The Old West Redux

As a member of the First Television Generation, I thrilled to this:

The Lone Ranger made a pretty good transition from radio to TV.  He showed up on the Big Screen in color in 1956, but I didn't see that one until I was old enough to sit up in front of the television set.

They tried to do an "updated" movie in 1981 which, to borrow a phrase from Mel Brooks, stank on ice.  Klinton Spilsbury was so bad they had to bring in another actor post-production to overdub his dialogue.  Didn't they catch any of that in the auditions?!  Not even Christopher Lloyd as the villain Butch Cavendash could save that turkey.  

So it was with mixed feelings I found out Disney was doing a new version, with Armie Hammer (not to be confused with the baking soda) as TLR and Johnny Depp as Tonto.

For those of us who grew up with Clayton Moore and Jay Silver heels 

this look at Hammer and Depp may be something of a culture shock:

I dunno, it could be pretty cool.  Or it could be a rotting disaster, like "The Green Hornet" last summer, in which they altered the characters and the set-up to try to make it a "hip" snarky joke.  We'll see in May.

I am thinking of going to see "John Carter" this week, but since I've never read any of Edgar Rice Burroughs's "John Carter Warlord of Mars" books, I'll have to ask fan (and renowned romance author) Devlin O'Neill how well the Disney Dudes translated that one!  Well, Barsooming Dev goes to see it.  

Meanwhile, I hear Disney is doing a new version of "The Mickey Mouse Club," too! 

I'll probably tune that in.

They NEED A Blisterin'

The artificial contrivance known as Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend.  I've never heard anyone cheer it, nor has anyone ever given me a good explanation for it.  But somebody's making money from it somewhere and somehow, because not only does it continue, but they've actually expanded the damned feckless thing. In fact, I think it's longer now than when I did this "Discipline and Desire" cartoon.  Or maybe it just seems longer.  But whoever is responsible...

Kaki, Larken, and the New WolfieToon

Well, that's not really Kaki and Larken.  

But it could be.

And that's certainly Impy enough, we might be getting closer.

Ooh, speaking of being closer!  Yowza!

Anyway, Larken and Kaki

both remarked about training the pooches to fetch toys over in the "Pinups and Puppies" post,  which I thought was a splendid carton idea, and so I surprised them with co-writing credit for this week's WolfieToon at  "Discipline and Desire!"

They were pleased, but couldn't possibly have been as tickled as I was with their responses.  Hopefully they won't mind me sharing excerpts!  Kaki wrote: 

* SQUEAL!!! * 

This has to be my favoritest cartoon in the whole world!  Thanks so much, I love, love. LOVE it.

That dog can wipe that smug look off her face.

And Larken added:

Oh ! Em ! Gee ! 

         

This is SO COOL!!!

        
                                                          

Wait just a minute here.  That dog is a girl?!  Just look at that sly smirk!  And her tail's waving away like a mini rattan cane!  Man's best friend.  You got that right.  Hrumph.  That traitor.     

 (Maybe the Imps can train the dogs to chew up the wooden implements, or at least bury them in the back yard.)  

I love these gals!

Oh, tush, tush, I hardly think they're in that group... but it does remind me of my Youth.

Anyway, thanks again, Kaki and Larken!    

 Oh, look!!

I nearly forgot to mention the two free chapters of the "D&D" books on this week's update:  Medieval mischief from Maryse in "Chance Encounters,"  and things get hot in the hospital in Reesa Roberts's "A Chemical Romance!"  Enjoy!

Dean Yeagle Cartoons!

Taking a break from my own weekly WoofieTooning for "Discipline and Desire" to share some images from one of my very favorite guys, cartoonist-animator Dean Yeagle!

If Dean has done an actual cartoon spanking, I've never seen it, but there's plenty of personality and good humored sexuality in his work, especially the "Playboy" cartoons featuring Mandy!

I missed putting a couple of these relevant to previous posts-- for instance, here's a Valentine cartoon:

And here's Mandy in Pajamas!  With a Shakespeare Quote!

A Pin-up Type and her Pup(s)!

Mythological Mayhem. 

Ice spy something Pink!

Oops.

I woulda put some Cartoon Stars there, but Dean knows when enough's enough.  But we can go to the stars:

Speaking of Aliens, you Ray Bradbury fans will recognize these.  Ray's in there, too, chomping on the stogie.  (And if perchance you've never read Bradbury, check some out from the library!  The WolfieBlog, it's fun AND culturally enriching!)  .

This bear is enjoying the "SPANKING 101 SAMPLER" clip at SpankingTube--especially Erica Scott in black leggings over Paul "Tubaman's" lap!  WOWSERS!!  

Well, sure, distracting your opponent will give you an edge!

Hay, watch the horseplay!

Gasp!!  A cliffhanger!!

But all's well that ends well.

  

Fish Tails, Or, "Icthyosoreass"

THE MERMAID 

Ogden Nash (1902-1974) 

Say not the mermaid is a myth, 

I knew one once named Mrs. Smith. 

She stood while playing cards or knitting; 

Mermaids are not equipped for sitting.

I made the same point, albeit not so poetically, back at THIS POST, but it's interesting how often Mermaid Spanking Images show up anyway!

Now, we all grew up with merwomen, 

so, familiarity generally negates the notion that encountering such a creature would be pretty goddamn scary.

Perhaps that's the subtle psychology behind the desire to tame such Faerie Denizens.  Or maybe it's just that Spankophile Imaginations don't really need all that much encouragement 

Thus, the question becomes, where does the Fish End and the Girl Rear Appear? 

(Cartoon by Mike Maihack)

Of course, Ron Howard let us have both versions of Daryl Hannah in "Splash," and God bless him for it.

When the Disney Dudes decided to adapt Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid," the director told his designers and animators, "I don't want Ariel to look like a girl wearing a fish costume!"  So pains were taken to make her lower half authentically aquatic. 

However, that never stopped the aforementioned Spankophiles from depicting her over someone's lap in fish form.  I can't find any good images of that right now, but they're out there.  And Dean Yeagle had no problem whatsoever supplying Ariel with cute buttocks in this sketch for a fan:

  

Girls in Mermaid Suits With Cute Butts always reminds me of the opening of "THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT,"  a 60's movie in which Doris Day swims onscreen to enchant the customers of her dad's (Arthur Godfrey!) tourist attraction.

Rod Taylor, fishing where he's not supposed to be, snags her mermaid tail and yanks it right off.  They have a heated exchange (ensuring, by romantic comedy rules, that they will end up together by movie's end) and Doris angrily turns tail and swims away.

As we were watching this pic on TV-- lo! so long ago-- my sister squealed with glee, "She's really NOT wearing a bottom!"  and I tried in vain to pierce the water's murkiness to see Doris's lovely naked behind.  I'm sure she was, in fact, wearing SOMETHING, but the notion of seeing Ms Day's uncovered derriere... intrigued me.  I had seen her fanny swatted in a couple of other pictures, and, as Clark Gable confirms in "Teacher's Pet," she had a lovely rump. 

Butt, I digress.

One of the first cartoons I found on-line was of this Old Salt solving our dilemma:

(By the way, Web-Ed has this over at "The Chicago Spanking Forum" on his HUMOR PAGE!)

Most Adult Parody Videos are pretty lame, however, Dallas and Company (As in, "Dallas Spanks Hard!") have created a pretty good one called "I Spank Lucy" that you can preview HERE!   It features Lucy in a show wearing a mermaid costume;  at least until this moment:

Endart did a cartoon returning us to the original idea called "Catch Of The Day."

There is a way around the Half Woman-Half Fish spanking problem that others have suggested;  here is my version:

There could be other problems there.  But, I dunno, she might be a pretty good kisser.
