Spring Breezes...

 More breezy skirts from the golden age...

Artwork by Eugène Lelievre, may be viewed on both Instagram and Ebay (auction ended). Many Thanks to BB for locating these two superb pieces:

Gag Cartoons

And now for another trip down memory lane with some old school "gag" cartoons. First, two beautifully drawn  pieces by the great Arthur Ferrier:

...followed by an archetype French maid by Dan DeCarlo (of "Archie" fame)...

...an unfinished piece by "Morrice" (I'd be interested to know what the punchline was for this one):

...and finally, an unabashed tour-de-force by Bill Ward, the undisputed master of legs, lace and lingerie (many thanks to BB for providing this exceptional piece):

Ready for a night out on the town...

 

...but is the town ready for them?

The Quaids: Before and After

 So, quadruplets are usually defined as four children born from the same mother at the same time (generally identical in appearance). Here we have the aptly named Quaid girls taking a candid selfie on their eighteenth birthday...

...followed by the exact same four; washed, scrubbed and blow-dried for their boudoir shoot (and wearing as little as their Mom will allow). Amazing how a touch of lipstick and gloss can change your entire outlook, isn't it? :)

Twin Desires

And now for another a trip to AI land, where stunning blonde beauties model their black designer lingerie in the street. The original had a few anomalies (extra/missing fingers etc), but we managed to clean them up in photoshop. Will be posting more like as time permits.

The Panty Wars

Presenting our latest OS project: The Panty Wars! Panty Wars is the heart-warming story of a group of Shibuya college girls who start photographing each other's underwear to post on the school website. The pranks escalate to a LEGALLY BINDING WAGER in which the losers will be forced to model their bare essentials in public. The result is wall-to-wall knickers as each contestant struggles to maintain her clothing along with her dignity!

Caught in her Underwear (AI version)

So, there's a huge argument going on over at DeviantART at the moment; apparently, "traditional" artists want AI banned from the internet until the end of time.

Speaking for myself, I completely disagree. The technology can now be used to improve artwork. Compare the two pics posted below - tradition media enhanced by Artificial Intelligence. It's pretty obvious which one looks better.

Sooner or later, we'll be able to produce an entire manga in less than a day, using just simple line drawings and an AI program.

2022 Winter Spectacular

Yes, the title says it all. Our good friend Tisa has produced yet another show-stopping extravaganza to ring in the new year, and we guarantee it'll rank high on everybody's Christmas list.

2022 Halloween Show

OK, we're a few days late reposting this one, but Tisa's 2022 Halloween Show is an absolute blockbuster! Clocking in at a spectacular twenty-six minutes, it features (at least) seven classic dance numbers with some of the most innovative choreography and camerawork we've seen thus far. Be sure to watch to the very end; the final bows and encores are well worth the wait. Our heartfelt thanks to Tom for this superb animated extravaganza.

The Gallery of Bottoms (2)

More high-resolution snapshot of the cancan's most iconic move; art and animation by TISA.

TISA's commentary:

Lillian's Bottom is sleek and shiny and very well-shaped. Whenever she dances the Cancan, she treats the audience to the Royal Flash, her plump, ripe Bottom highlighted by the camera - though she doesn't seem to be aware of that.

Blackstripes

Rival dance group Miasma storms the stage with their own take on the cancan. The original lineup features Mia, Rena and Carol in dazzling, black-striped costumes and lingerie:

At this time, tensions between Mia and Lilly have diminished somewhat; having settled most of their differences, they've agreed to employ the dance-floor as their "field of combat."

Unfortunately, trouble is never far off, as the demoness Carol is always planning some new mischief on the side...

...which probably explains why there's so much bottom-smacking during the Royal Flash sequences :)

Naturally, Rena is the prime recipient of these "playful" swats (though she may not appreciate the sentiment as much as her two companions)...

Of course, with so many plump, ripe bottoms on display, a good smart spanking or two is virtually inevitable under the circumstances :)

Ava & Karen: Duo's Dreaming

The Church Fundraiser continues with Ava and Karen at the helm for the second act. Another immaculate vidclip with traditional costumes (complete with black suspender stockings beneath snowy white petticoats) featuring TISA's signature "swats" throughout the performance.

Reverend Chapel seems to be getting his money's worth this year. You can, of course, watch the entire performance on Youtube:

Unraveling

 Ever just had one of those days...?

Post War Cheesecake

 

Katy Keene in her "undies." Despite its squeaky-clean reputation, Archie Publications could get pretty steamy during the pre-code era. While the character was aimed at a predominately female audience, most stories contained a generous amount of cheesecake, usually in the form of Katy getting changed. Readers often submitted designs for the characters' clothing; evidently the strip had a devoted male following as well.

Eight years before Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene in The Seven Year Itch, Katy Keene found herself fighting the gale for close on six pages. The strip's creator, Bill Woggon, frequently "spiced up" the action with pin up pages and mild innuendo from time to time (well, practically every issue TBH). 

"Fanservice" elements were less common in other titles, though they managed to sneak in under the radar from time to time. Billed as "America's Typical Teenaged Girl," Ginger Snapp was a female version of Archie Andrews, complete with bright red hair and oddball supporting cast - although the similarities seem to have ended there. Unlike her better-known counterpart, Ginger occasionally treated her readers to gratuitous lingerie shots, complete with lacy black underwear and thigh-length suspender stockings.

Last (and possibly least) we have Owen Fizgerald's Moronica. Published by AGC in the early 50s, Moronica (yes, that was apparently her real name) was portrayed as ditzy, naive and accident-prone, ie a stereotypical "Dumb Dora" played exclusively for laughs. Appearing mainly in the back pages of Dizzy Dames (a more subtle title cannot be conceived), the strip ran for less than a year before its cancellation in June 1953. Strangely enough, the idea of an airhead blonde losing her clothes at the drop of a hat didn't catch on too well at the time. Guess there's just no accounting for taste.
