Boy Whipped!!

A painted comic strip, Boy Whipped!! was printed on heavy glossy paper, bound with a plastic comb. In rectangular balloons, dialog text looks like it was produced on an electric lettering machine used in print shops in the 1960s.

The loose leaf booklet names no publisher, artist or writer. Its creators must have thought of it as dangerous.

The first panel includes “C 68” as a part number and a $10.00 price. That works out to $1.00 per 8.5 x 5.5-inch page, expensive for the time. Although the “C 68” product identification differs from numeration found in the Stanton Archives Catalogue of 1980, Boy Whipped appears there as item 43 with a sample picture and this summary:

She teaches her step-son what total obedience means. He's beaten, sat upon, whipped, stripped and caned. Wonderful training for the little punk who can't keep his room in order. A recommended teachers manual.

Eighteen-year-old Charles is the son of a man who can afford a maid and travels for business. While first serving as maid in the household, Olga, of Russian origin, married Charles' father and considers herself the boy's step-mother.

Asserting her authority to manage him, Olga tells Charles that his room needs cleaning. He refuses. To justify his defiance, Charles proclaims a hierarchy based on him being male and hurls insults. He calls her a “crazy foreigner,” “damned maid,” and “old and fat.”

His nasty response gets him a “strapping” with his belt. On his bed, she holds him in place with her knee.

Olga first appears in a billowy, belted blouse and short skirt. After she gives her stepson a belting, she strips down to black bra, panties, stockings and boots.

He runs from her and she pursues. Grabbing his t-shirt, she smacks his face. After wrestling him to the floor, the dark beauty spanks his bare bottom with her hand, his shorts at his ankles.

In the basement, she wears only a white belt and matching pumps. There, she canes him and he capitulates.

The are no narrative blocks and about half the panels contain no balloons (and need none). Skillful dialog restates the stormy atmosphere of the picture story.

Mr. Stanton's brush work delineates a fierce protagonist in a spectrum of moods. Whether confident, angry or triumphant, Olga's voluptuous curves move with grace as she disciplines her misguided stepson. Skinny Charles' attitude morphs from arrogance to anguish to surrender.

The ebook contains all content of the original. Each panel occupies a separate page. Some action and figure features are repeated, enlarged. The 10-page booklet is presented on more than 20 optimized pages.

Brightness, contrast and levels were adjusted. The optimized presentation offers easy access to the audacious Maestro's graphic and narrative genius.

Suffering Males

Suffering Males shapes up in familiar booklet format, saddle-staple bound, about 36 pages. Content mixes anonymous prose and Eric Stanton art.

While female domination stories often provide scant pretext for hurting men, this one begins with plenty of motivation. Lawyer Chub Flagler, administrator of the Boros estate, wants to hire Storm Ronson as an accomplice, and explains the circumstances.

"I invested that money well for the child and used a little for personal investments that didn't do so well. Now she's about to reach her majority. I had hoped that she would marry me — sort of a father image thing, you know — and then she'd never find out about the appropriation."

"Embezzlement is the word," Storm Ronson cut in.

Flagler sighed, "And what does she do? She gets into a lesbian relationship with that short-haired stomping bull dyke Barbara Vogel! Now if you could get into Barbara's pants, it'd break sweet little Nan's heart and she'd come running back to Uncle Chub for comfort and I'd make the big gesture and agree to marry her to protect her from heartbreak like that ever getting to her again."

"You filthy bastard," Ronson said. "For that you'd damned well better make it ten grand."

"Seven and a half on delivery of Nan to me, with that story of Barbara's faithlessness," Chub said.

Angel, Flagler's secretary, records the conversation and plays it for Nan. When Ronson arrives, Barbara's extra friendly, offering him a drink laced with something debilitating.

They enjoy binding him in painful suspension, hitting him with an umbrella, punching him, whipping him with a long, steel spring. He hurts so much that he agrees to conspire with his pretty tormentresses against his sometime employer.

This requires Ronson to act with Barbara in a fake sex scene recorded on tape. Flagler hears it soon after he arrives at the apartment. But pain soon replaces his impression of success.

After binding Flagler and inflicting an assortment of torments, the ladies decide that forcing him to wear women's attire would constitute suitable punishment for his theft and deceit. The costume they contrive for his chubby body make him look more like a clown than a woman.

The text was scanned separately. A few changes were made to spelling and punctuation. Although preposterous and theme-driven, this is a well-written story that describes scenes shown in pictures. About 6000 words.

The ebook contains all content of the booklet, including front cover, two pages of Candor Books advertising and back cover.

The booklet presents 16 Stanton ink illustrations. His cruel sirens punch, pinch noses, pull ears, bang heads, bind, poke heels, spank, scratch, sit on, paddle and whip. Sometimes vicious, sometimes cheerful, they ooze feminine allure.

Levels, brightness and contrast were adjusted. Image editing improves clarity — lightening and smoothing some rough shadows.

As possible, pictures were placed near text that describes them. Optimized images fill screens from top to bottom. Some action elements and figure features are repeated, enlarged. Pictures appear on more than 35 pages.

A second optimized ebook contains only pictures.
