Room 2D

Continuing on the theme of orphaned artwork not connected to a specific story or comic strip, here are three fabulous drawings by the illustrator for early Blushes (I think maybe Alan Bell), which were featured in issue 32 of Justice magazine. Each of them tells a story in itself. Firstly, here is  The Volunteer : What is going on here? The headmaster stands, hands on hips holding a cane, surrounded by a group of girls — three senior-looking ones (prefects?) one of whom is holding a report, and seven younger plump-bottomed girls in vest and pants, one of whom has her hand up to volunteer. What is she volunteering for? Is this a group punishment and she has offered to go first, or is she volunteering to offer up the name of the culprit the Head is looking for (possibly the girl on her left, hence her alarmed look)? Are those punishment marks already on the volunteer’s bottom and that of her neighbour? What is the role of the ...

Darcy has produced a colour version of one of the Roué back cover drawings which I have added to the original post here .

In the heyday of spanking magazines there were often standalone pieces of spanking artwork in addition to the story illustrations. The most obvious example being the Contents page of Janus but there were plenty of other examples. These drawings often told a whole story in themselves. First up here are some small cartoons that were featured in the corner of the back cover of the first four Roué issues, so may well have been overlooked by many readers. They have a great cheeky sense of humour to them. From Roué 1, an eskimo family warm themselves around the recently toasted bottom of the daughter of the family. From Roué 2, granny finds a use for her granddaughter’s sprawling legs, while grandpa teaches her an old-fashioned lesson. From Roué 3, a schoolmaster is shocked by how many pairs of pants this miscreant has tried to get away with wearing. Finally, from Roué 4, a father is interrupted whilst using a dog lead to punish his...

The card read: ‘Darling Annabelle. Because it’s your birthday you get to choose which order I use the canes in. And now you are sixteen I have an extra little something for you. Well, maybe not that little.’

The final part, from Februs 42 Would be good to see the further two parts of this short story if anyone knows where they might be found.

Story by Michael Wentwood from Janus 26 with a couple of lovely illustrations by Paula Meadows It was an act of bravado, the bet, but Linda didn’t want to lose face. When the new Headmistress had arrived with the clear intention of tightening things up, including re-introducing the cane at Shawborough School, there had been a lot of apprehension. But a month had gone by and it was obvious that the dreaded cane would be kept in the background as a last resort rather than being put to regular use. In common with most of the girls at Shawborough Linda was very relieved about this, particularly as she had a reputation for being one of the naughtiest girls in the school. The casual observer, however, although he may have noticed the sparkle in Linda’s eyes would be far more likely to have been struck by her remarkable appearance. Mature for her years, her beautiful dark hair falling carelessly round her shoulders, many an eye was turned by the sight of Linda in her Shawborough unifo...
