Room 2D

Two more Alan Bell drawings unearthed by Uncle George. A couple of school-related ones from a single Justice magazine. This one is titled Teacher’s First Lesson : This pair of miscreants have had to report to the gymnasium for the first lesson of the day. The first exercise is to do a handstand and then be caned bare bottom in that position. One girl has already completed the exercise and is now perched on the wall-bars as her friend gets the same treatment. The second one is titled Night Duty : This one reminds me of Rosemead School for Girls . Perhaps the horrible Third Form boys raided the dorm earlier… “They would run through the dorm throwing water on the girls in their beds, and flicking them with ‘rats tails’ made out of towels, and then disappear. The Duty Master would come to investigate the disturbance and, as often as not, the girls would be punished for making a noise after Lights Out.” In any event, having sev...

From Uniform Girls 12 Spelling had always been her weakness. Judy Drake knew it and admitted it. The trouble was, now that she was coming up to her ‘A’s’, it was getting serious. It was pointless to be good at History, Geography and English Lit, if your exam papers were full of spelling mistakes. Mrs Stokes, her form mistress had pointed this out time and time again; Mr Barnard, the Assistant Head emphasised it, in no uncertain fashion. Then her parents had joined in. They had begun to realise that, after an expensive education at her public school (boarding), their daughter may well fail the first step on the ladder to university. And they had set their heart on her getting her degree. They knew she was a bright girl… but there was just this ‘blind spot’ about spelling. Letters flew to and fro between the Assistant Head and themselves. They emphasised the importance of something being done about it and Mr Barnard agreed. The gi...

Following my post of some Alan Bell drawings from Justice 32 , Uncle George has kindly sent me some scans of additional orphaned Alan Bell works from Justice and other mags that weren’t previously on my radar. These three came from the same magazine. Firstly, a couple of linked subtitled drawings under the heading A Nurses “Tail” : With young doctors it’s usually a spanking With the older, more experienced consultants it’s likely to be a tawse belt or cane Then a standalone subtitled schoolgirl drawing from later in the magazine: The area of the punishment must always be closely inspected to ensure it has had the desired effect!! Many thanks to Uncle George for bringing these delightful drawings to our attention. More to follow over the next few weeks.

Photo-story from Janus 137 and some appreciative letters from subsequent editions. Culver has questioned whether Lucy Naylor is, in fact, the model Karina under a different name. Lucy Naylor has just turned eighteen and attends a school which incorporates tertiary education. Soon enough she’ll be at college, but right now she’s a schoolgirl still, and wears the uniform to prove it. Lucy would be first to admit she’s not the greatest scholar. She hates Maths, Languages are a nightmare, Biology’s a bore. She’s quite good at English, though spelling isn’t her strong point. It’s games she excels at, being good at sprinting, long jump and netball. She works hard at her schoolwork though, making up in application what she lacks in flair, so when she entered sixth form at the beginning of term she was entrusted with the role of Prefect, of which she’s very proud. The fact that Lucy’s a Prefect doesn’...
