More orphaned artwork, this time some full-page drawings by Hardcastle that featured in mid-range Janus. Beautifully drawn, these are largely self-explanatory so I shan’t labour the message. Firstly, this one from Janus 47, billed as ‘a Christmas treat’ entitled  The Cult : Next, from Janus 55, is  Yearning : And finally for this week, from Janus 57 (‘a heart-warming winterscape’) is  Whispering Snowflakes :

The first of two New Year gifts from Culver

Here is the final batch of Paula Meadows covers from Fessée magazine. Issue 9: What an enticing beauty she is. Interesting that the viewpoint being portrayed by Paula is that of a man (and not a particularly good-looking one, judging by the reflection in the mirror.) Issue 10: Dressed like that she was just asking for some nautical punishment. The guy on the dinghy in the background is enjoying the view and who can blame him. Issue 11: She is dressed perfectly to give him his birthday present. I hope he appreciates it. Or is it maybe her birthday…?

Here is the second batch of Paula Meadows covers from Fessée magazine. Issue 5: Oh I say! That ballboy is finding it hard to do his job, I imagine. Female tennis players do have such wonderfully toned legs and buttocks. This must represent the fantasy of many a young lad watching Wimbledon. Issue 6: What a look on her face — whatever is about to happen is most definitely consensual — but what a shock the dog walker is about to get! Issue 7: A medieval wedding night perhaps. This damsel certainly looks up for it, and who placed the whip on the chair ready for action — him or her? Issue 8: Oh, hello! I come back from work early and what do I find you reading in the back garden when I get home? We might have to put some of those pictures into practice.

Molly had been excited to stay with her Grandpa for Christmas while her mum went away with her new boyfriend. She didn’t like him at all. But Grandpa insisted she should earn her keep with house duties and she was a lazy girl. So he punished her. Her bum and thighs had been different shades of red since the moment she arrived. But this was the worst. Grandpa had been to the pub with his friend Eric and came home to find Molly had forgotten to get their dinner ready. So Eric helped Grandpa undress her, and he held her arms tightly behind her back with his rough hands. Then Grandpa whipped her breasts with his belt. She cried and pleaded and struggled but they just kept going. ‘Let’s take her upstairs,’ said Eric. ‘It will be easier to hold her still on your bed.’ Indeed.

By regular correspondent and poet M.B. of Grimsby from Janus 58 On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, A paddling on my little derriere. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Two smarting cheeks, And a paddling on my little derriere. On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Three tearful tannings, Two smarting cheeks, And a paddling on my little derriere. On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Four blushing bums, Three tearful tannings, Two smarting cheeks, And a paddling on my little derriere. On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Five burning bots, Four blushing bums, Three tearful tannings, Two smarting cheeks, And a paddling on my little derriere. On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Six stripes a-sizzling, Five burning bots, Four blushing bums, Three tearful tannings, Two smarting cheeks, And a paddling on my little derri...

More orphaned artwork, this time from the incomparable Paula Meadows. Here are the beautifully illustrated covers from the first four editions of Fessée magazine. Issue 1: A self-portrait of Paula reading this very issue including the cover art (an example of the Droste effect). She is wearing sexy underwear (views on knickers over suspender straps or vice versa anyone? — Paula looks like the former, which I guess is more practical for various reasons) and a cane is tucked discreetly behind her on the window sill. A picture of a contented spanko and proud editor. Issue 2: What’s going on here? Are they lovingly holding hands in front of their rack of punishment implements, with a look of aroused anticipation on her face. Or is she trying to stop him taking an implement from the rack with a look of fearful anticipation on her face. His closed eyes seem to indicate the former. Issue 3: Nice to see an admirer of fine art… Some ...

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 ...

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.
