Dagwood Paddled

This is one panel from a recent Blondie comic in the weekend paper. The reason it caught my eye is because way back when, there was a strip in which Dagwood got paddled by Blondie. I'm pretty sure she used this very paddle.

This is probably a sly way for the writer, Dean Young, to refer to the older strip by his father Chic Young. I like to think so, anyway.

Peanuts' Wisdom

A Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz that appeared some years ago went as follows:

LUCY: I'm worried about a little boy who sits in front of me at school...
He cries every day... This afternoon I tried to help him... I whacked him one on the arm...

CHARLIE BROWN: You whacked him one on the arm?!

LUCY: I think it helped...There's nothing like a little physical pain to take your mind off your emotional problems.


Could Lucy be one of us?

Romantic Fiction for Spring

The last time I went to get a haircut, I took along a romantic novel by Johanna Lindsey. To pass the time, I leafed through it at moderate speed, searching for spanking references. I didn't actually care what the book was about; I simply needed enough material for a post. Every time I found an interesting word or description, I stuck a post-it flag beside the passage, and carried on.

My hair stylist has never commented on my choice of reading material in the past, but wouldn't you know it? That day she asked why I was sticking post-its in the book.

Tell the truth? Never. I had to think fast.

"I'm making notes for a book club. Those are the passages I'm going to discuss." Not too far from the truth.

But she didn't let it go at that. Perhaps she figured she had a subject that I wanted to discuss. So off she went into question mode.

"Where does your book club meet?" "What kind of books do you read?" "Who chooses the books?" On and on it went, until my hair was finished. I won't bring the post-its again. Turning down the page will have to do.

The bright side is, I really did find a decent spanking story, and I'll share it with you soon. I also found another that, while there wasn't any OTK action, is worth talking about now. It's called A Rogue of My Own. I mentioned above that I go through these novels quite quickly. My eyes scan each page for some reference to TTWD and I can rely on them to pick up any nuance. So while the book was spankless, I found several gems that are pretty appropriate when taken out of context:

"She doesn't really have a verbal whip."

Or did he forget she was wearing breeches?

"I knew you were smart as a whip, m'dear."

"She doesn't strike me as competent."

But his remark smacked of insincerity...

Too bad it didn't hit him and only landed at his feet.

"If you wanted to hit me, luv, a slap would have been more in line, don't you think?"

...if she didn't have him to browbeat and try to whip into shape, he was sure she would flounder.

Her petticoat was lifted out of the way, her drawers tossed aside, and suddenly she had more heat than she bargained for...

"Did I tie a gag over your mouth?"

He was twirling her drawers about on his finger.

He felt a twinge of discomfort...

"And keep your eyes off my arse!"

It wasn't anger that brought tears to her eyes.

"This isn't a good time to test my patience."

He did it curtly, as if he were completing a task assigned to him, which gave her the odd feeling that he was punishing her.

He didn't want to stand that bloody high on his toes!

"It gives her purpose, to think she still needs to whip me into shape."

"Uppity wench."

She only grew thorns when he picked her petals.

"Never live your fantasies. Keep them up here" - Alberton tapped his head - "always out of reach."

"You were sitting here earlier tonight thinking of me with my breeches off."

Lilly winced at the pain...

"Will you please forgive me?"

Daisychain: "When you said you were promoting me from being the back end of the pantomime donkey, this is NOT what I thought you meant..."

Ronnie: The pony girls have their annual outing.

Sixofthebest: The lady driving the cart, says to the two naughty ladies, pulling the cart. "I want no 'horsing' around up front. Do you here me you two 'naughty whipper-snappers'.

Red: Now I understand the Chubby Checker song that started: " It's PONY TIME, get up" lovely kink...

Velvet: Wrong costumes girls. Get those clothes off now!

Prefectdt: The article in the 1911 newspaper "The Heartbridge Standard" carried the following headline.

Mistress Goodbody, proprietor of The House of Questionable Delights (No. 12 Cherry Tree Road), finds a solution to the great pony shortage dilemma.

Tender Bottomed Girl: I'll be glad when we get the pony out of layaway. :)

Bonnie: "Now you know why we wear these bustles."

Michael: Ladies Penelope Rhys-Jones and Felicia Gladstone lost their bet to Dame Patricia Forsythe and Lady Vivian Covington-Smythe so were now paying off with a weekend of servitude. The pony play wasn't too bad but tonight at the grand ball they were to serve the guests, their friends, while wearing nothing but split-back drawers. Lesson learned. Never again would they wager on whose husband could use the cane the hardest.

Devlin O'Neill: "Do not regard me thusly! Until someone develops a horse that will not do its business right in front of me, I shall convey myself through the streets in this wise, thank you very much."

Hermione: When the two ladies were invited to try the new "horseless carriage", little did they know what was in store for them.

Thanks for joining me this weekend. See you next time for something a little more exposed.
