From Janus 57. ‘You two better still be in the positions I left you in…’
I love the Janus 53 drawing. This dapper chap looks exactly like the kind of fellow who, if he was an MP, might have changed party allegiance in a certain direction in recent months, while the young lady at his side epitomises in her person the kind of modernity which, to her delight, beguiles him, teases him and makes him cross.
ReplyDeleteI too greatly appreciate this picture. I am sure this young ingenue will prove a most acceptable offering to 'The Club'. Her 'sponsor' looks an excellent fellow indeed and I feel certain that the circle into which the young woman is being introduced will be comprised of chaps of a similar mien and bearing. I am charmed also by how, despite the presence of the cane, this delectable 'new member' seemingly has very little inkling of the special education which awaits her.
DeleteThis important matter of a schoolgirl keeping her tie presentable whatever other items of uniform have been confiscated:
ReplyDeletethere's a commendable instance in a photoset in Janus 49. Sarah Jane has had her knickers removed and the front of her school skirt pulled right up and tucked in on itself. Thus revealing her embarrassed thatch and lots of flat bare (inviting) tummy. Yet her striped tie is still dead centre and tucked into the top of her rucked-up skirt. With her hands on her head Sarah Jane looks the picture of obedience. Except for her unacceptable scowl that is: which is why her undressing and punishment are works in progress.
Unacceptable scowls get girls into serious trouble.
DeleteIndeed. Sarah Jane is one of those girls who, even while broadly doing as she's told, can't help still being impertinent.
DeleteIn her case, regular cane and 'the other' (taking full advantage of that attractive bared tummy) would ultimately snuff out her infuriating and cheeky expressions: including averting her eyes and disdainful, dismissive looks.
