From the grin on the face of this hep cat, you’d think he discovered the idea of spanking his date. Fortunately for this happy Beatnik, his girlfriend seems to be digging it too:
This spanking cartoon is by Homer, from the May 1959 issue of Gee-Whiz! The caption reads: “I haven’t had a radio in this car, but I think this beat is music to my ears!”

Since I seem to be on a bit of an Eric Stanton kick right now, I thought I’d share these two color biographical photos that I found on eBay. (The longer-term-stable Internet Archive link is here.) And here’s the wild thing: remember the Eric Stanton connection to science fiction writer Andrew J. Offutt that I blogged about in December? These photos are said to be from the Offutt estate! The eBay seller writes of that connection:
Stanton and Offutt were not only colleagues who collaborated on hundreds of original works of erotic art and literature, notably “Stantoons” and “Blunder Broad” digests, they were close friends who regularly corresponded through letters, photographs, story and art proofs.
The photo at the top of this post is captures Eric and his wife Brit, posing at a 1980s art or comics convention. Brit’s wearing a pretty kinky outfit (knee-high boots and black spandex). It’s clear she understood Stanton’s tastes, and those of his autograph-seeking fans! As of course she would; per the eBay seller, Brit was a model for some of Stanton’s 1970s femme fetish photography. It’s pretty clear to me that some of his rapidly-drawn big buxom blonde Amazons in Stantoons and elsewhere were modeled after Brit as well.
The other photo captures Eric at his drafting table. The caption “The Dart Broad” presumably refers to the art — a work in progress? — on the easel, which I have blown up from the source photo rather more than is practical. From the limited visible detail, it looks like harem girls chasing somebody, maybe a loose pony girl, who is wearing quite a bit of bondage harness. I can’t find any reference in search engines to “The Dart Broad” but the style looks rather like his loose, rapidly-dashed-off drawings for various storylines in Stantoons. My guess is that the Dart Broad artwork appears somewhere in there:

“I never thought having having my legs behind my ears could be so easy.”
That’s a line that made me literally laugh out loud while I was reading a blog post at DoctorClimax.com. Yes, dear readers, I genuinely LOLed.
They were talking about dungeon furniture. Spanking benches, yes, but also bondage beds and chairs, “specialty” headboards, sex slings designed with BDSM in mind, and even hoary old favorites like big freestanding St. Andrew’s crosses. When it comes to legs behind ears, the classic solution — covered in the Dr. Climax blog article — is the headboard with designed-in attachment points for ankle restraints. But in my life as a BDSM blogger, I’m awash in more fanciful notions from the realm of BDSM art. So my mind went instantly to the work of bondage artist J. Ashely:
Ashely drew pretty girls in bondage, sure. But it sometimes seemed almost as important to him that they were properly affixed to proper stuff. He drew a lot of fancy bondage furniture in pursuit of that goal.
Was some of Ashely’s bondage furniture maybe a bit more intricate or impractical than what you can buy today? Sure. Nobody outside the 1% is going to have a spanking device with a decorated wrought-iron pussy jack that forcibly elevates the girl’s bottom. (Although wouldn’t you like one?) But most of the furniture in Ashely’s illustrations is highly practical stuff: solid wooden benches, chairs, tables, and trestles, with lots of places to attach bondage gear.
When I say practical — well, practical only goes so far. Any kind of fun dungeon stuff like this, you need private space to keep it and play with it. But clever design can ensure that you’re making good use of that private space. Take this combination unit: it’s a bondage table and it’s a pillory. Two large handy toys in the space and footprint of just one!
And there’s really no arguing with the utility of this next heavy slab of a bondage table. Strong wood, lots of steel rings, and a nice low design for easy access to whatever part of your BDSM victim needs accessing in the moment. You never thought keeping your playmate tied right where you want them could be so easy!
A fun thing about bondage furniture is that there’s a fine line between “hold them there while we do fun stuff” and “that evil thing is tormenting her and I don’t have to lift a finger, I can just stand here and practice my nasty-villain laugh!” As a bondage artist, Ashely wasn’t the least bit scared of crossing that line, because in his fantasy worlds, nobody has to worry about joints, nerves, and circulation. And that freed him up to imagine constructions like painful wood-and-steel bondage horses. This one will do to wrap up with:

This artwork — for which, sadly, I have no artist information — strikes me as a very traditional and proper sorority spanking initiation the way we have always imagined they used to be conducted. Topless sorority sisters, trembling pledges, and a really large and fearsome wooden paddle — what’s not to like?

What do you do when the Society of Woman Spankers (SOWS) makes a visit en masse to your humble family-run sex shop? Well, if you’re good at selling sex toys, bondage gear, and spanking implements, you grab Lily, the sister with the biggest and prettiest butt, and make her “volunteer” to demonstrate how the bondage furniture works. Her delicious ass will make a perfect ornament for the spanking pillory:
And what do you do then, if you’re a loving sibling like Dolly, when another one of the “SOWS” (unfortunate acronym, that, but I’m not volunteering to point it out to them) wants to test out a vicious bamboo cane? Why, you offer up your sister Lily’s thoroughly-restrained butt as a caning test target! It’s not like she’s in any position to refuse:
I like how Lily is already plotting revenge on her sister Dolly. It’s not like the siblings won’t be out on the same shop floor selling spanking furniture and canes again tomorrow! Honestly, I’m not sure Dolly has thought this all the way through. But probably she just can’t resist the chance to swing that evil cane at her sister’s oh-so-spankable bottom:
Look at that splat! I would have done it too. Worry about tomorrow — and Lily’s inevitable revenge — tomorrow. It’s perhaps unkind, however, to turn over the cane to the prospective customer for unlimited testing:
At the end of the day, though, how can you argue with a spanking toy sales success like that? A bulk sale! Surely that’s worth Lily’s thrashed and sore bottom — especially if Dolly takes the commission!
