Interlude-An Article from Dicks County Man

Dicks County Man  began publication in 1958, as a local version of the men's adventure mags popular at the time, what the graphic designers of the day called "sweat mags" because of the profuse perspiration covering the hot, struggling, exhausted and handsome men in the illustrations.  They might as well have called them "hairy guy with 3 day beard mags".  Their stories were invariably about men in peril, often in exotic locals..  Over the years it has evolved into a men's lifestyle magazine with a focus on local culture, lifestyle and issues.

In terms of technique, these represent an experiment for me.  Let me know what you think.  

Below, the two illustrations without the old cracked paint finish.

Those are some silky-smooth low hanging balls, he must've had that procedure where they de-wrinkle your sack.  I did the face second, got carried away with the chest hair and now it doesn't really match the legs.  I could go back and put some lovely black fuzz on those thighs, but I'm all about the next picture.

Men Spanked for Flirting: Another Clipping from the Dicksburg Gazette

A little more info about post-secondary education in our alternate future.  This focuses on the generally playful dynamics created by the use of the paddle as restricted to older male students.  For heterosexuals, the sexually charged atmosphere leads to some intense interactions.  And handsome men seem to be at a bit of a disadvantage.

This will all change soon, as the sexes, including teachers, administrators, and students, will be segregated to their respective schools.

This fellow Dirk suffers from a common affliction, he doesn't realize how hot he is.  (Unfortunately the opposite problem, not realizing you're not hot, is equally common.)  The original is only a little bigger:

I like him, I'd like to tutor him privately a few times a week.  His observation about women spanking too hard, I think, is partly explained by the fact that men have a much lower pain threshold, especially younger men.  Testosterone causes excitability of all kinds, including sexual arousal and sensitivity to pain.  There may be more discussion of this in future articles.

OK, here's how I'd be imagining him during our tutoring sessions.  Tough guy, has kind of a prison vibe:

Let me know how you feel about this.  These articles, I hope, provoke the imagination, but of course the images in the paper are not too graphic.  Do you read the text or just look at the pictures, and if you read,is it thought-provoking?

My next entry will return us to our police story, but this series of articles will be interspersed amid the narrative from now on.

Beer Ad

Break in the story, this is a magazine ad for the town's most popular beer.  Probably going to pull back and see one of our characters reading a men's magazine.

Nothing goes together like a six pack and a good, long spanking.  If you click on it, it gets bigger.
