Paula’s Puzzle Picture 3 — A La Carte

From Fessée 4 Letter from Fessée 6 A burnt offering from Kevin W ‘Not having a first course Sarah?’ Sarah smiled. ‘Just Derriere Flamb é , and I’ve already had that.’ Michael did a quick, schoolboy translation. ‘Flaming… bottom?’ Sarah shuffled on her chair. ‘Precisely. I’ve er, got a new arrangement with my boss, at work. About mistakes.’ ‘What are you two whispering about? We haven’t ordered the wine yet…’ ‘This is more interesting than wine, George. Sarah here claims to have had her bottom smacked.’ George stared. The things women came out with when they’d had a few glasses of champagne… ‘Not smacked,’ Sarah corrected, ‘…caned.’ Both men put down their menus. Claire gave her sister a wry smile. The two men who’d asked the girls out to dinner would be sure to think this was a ‘wind up’. Claire knew otherwise. ‘Why don’t you show them, Sarah?’ ‘What here? Okay then; I could do with letting it cool off a bi

From Fessée 3 Letter from Fessée 4 Since I live in a small market town with farms scattered all around the area, it seemed to me, looking at the characters in What a View, Halloo , that the two countrymen leaning on the stile and watching the young lady on the horse having her bare buttocks beaten, are taking it very much in their stride. They have seen this sort of thing before. The young woman, with her bottom in the air and being beaten by her two companions, one male and one female, is probably a younger sister and clearly accustomed to her mistakes and misdemeanours being dealt with in this fashion. She could hardly have arrived on the back of the horse without her riding breeches by accident could she? Therefore this has happened before. She has a good seat! As to what she has done to merit such stringent treatment at the hands of two people whom I believe to be her sister and brother-in-law, I’m not sure. I can hazard a g

One of the many things I love about Paula Meadows artwork is that it often seems to have a hinterland — it makes you think about the situation being portrayed and wonder what the back story is. Exemplifying this, Paula ran a series of drawings in Fessée magazine called “Puzzle Pictures”, and readers were invited to send in storylines to explain the drawing. This one is from Fessée 2 combined with readers’ responses from later editions. Letter from Fessée 3 Enclosed is my poor effort at giving a story to Paula’s Puzzle. I always enjoy her drawings as she really makes the pictures live. In my opinion you could easily dispense with three or four photographs from your main feature as some of them are practically duplicated and put in their place more of Paula’s work or similar. I shall be sending my order for No.3 of Fessée shortly as I find it a really refreshing magazine. Is there any chance of a picture of Paula appearing as at the

Story from Janus 27 by Tom Horner ‘There are some young women who are just asking to have their bottoms smacked!’ Richard looked at David in surprise. He followed the direction of David’s eyes across the pub, and realised that he was staring at a small group of people standing at the bar. The group consisted of three young men and a girl. The girl was about 20, her auburn haircut in a pageboy style. She stood in the middle of the young men, talking animatedly, her chatter punctuated by flashes of her wide eyes, glimpses of a bright wide smile, and tosses of her pretty head. It was a performance that any man would have found hard to resist and the three young men in the bar were no match for this jinxy little minx. She had them transfixed, lapping up her performance like three cats round a bowl of cream. She was smartly dressed — a secretary perhaps — and when she turned her back, the tight material of her grey skirt rippled with t
