Hi all,

So what do you think then? A little bit of pesky parody on the way…

Personally, I don’t think the real Daphne ever deserved a trip over anyone’s knee. If memory serves, she was always drawn rather sexy, but I don’t remember her ever being particularly bitchy. She mostly just got kidnapped and said “Jeepers!” a lot.

Although… maybe there was that one time when she tried to escape from the villain and got caught halfway out the door. And perhaps the baddie decided to teach her what happens to meddling ladies…

But with the Pesky version, I think we all know Charlie will be her usual self. I won’t give too much away about the storyline yet, so I’m gonna move to what I do want to talk about….that moment of realisation.

You know the one.

That moment when you suddenly realise that OTK action is… well… rather interesting.

So when did you first notice?

For me, it was obviously the usual suspects — comics and old westerns. Those scenes always seemed to grab my attention for some reason. Funny that.

But there was also… the space hopper incident.

Feel free to laugh — honestly, I deserve it.

When I was small there was an old space hopper hanging around the house, still fully inflated. I used to mess about with it constantly — throwing it around, kicking it across the room, the usual sort of nonsense.

Then one day, purely by accident of course, I rolled it forward and gave the bottom of it a firm slap.

And… well…

That felt oddly satisfying.

Being a curious sort, I decided to conduct further scientific research. I grabbed a thin stick and tried again.

Now we had a swish… and a whack.

Ladies and gentlemen, I had just spanked a space hopper.

At the time I had absolutely no idea what that strange little thrill meant. I just knew that for some reason I quite liked it.

Of course, I understand the feeling now — it’s the same one I get every time a certain young lady finds herself draped across my lap.

I’ve heard other people say they used dolls to act out the fantasy, and I’m fairly certain that somewhere in the world a few Princess Leia figures ended up over Han Solo’s knee back in the day.

Then came the long process of figuring out whether I was the only one. Remember, this was before the internet, so discovering such things required careful investigation and the occasional raised eyebrow.

And then Madonna went and released a song that basically confirmed to the entire world that it was definitely a thing.

Anyway, I’ve got a couple of pages for you this time around. When you see them you’ll understand why I haven’t posted for a couple of weeks. They took quite a while to put together as they are renders within renders, with a lot of resizing and fiddling about to get everything to line up properly. But the volleyball comic is now pretty much done and I’ll get back to animating then.

I hope you enjoy them.

But now I’m curious…

When did you first realise this sort of thing had your attention?

Was it comics? Old movies? Cartoons? A childhood memory you suddenly remembered years later?

Or did you also conduct important early experiments involving household objects like space hoppers? It would blow my mind to think someone else did😂😂😂🍑

Anyway, back in a bit with those pages.
