Santa in Bondage (because All Women are Bad!)

Sometimes, I will buy a comic for all the wrong reasons. This one I must have got in the UK as it's actually British, in spite of the US price being over the UK price. It was published in 1992 and to say that at the time "Good Girl" art was in vogue would be an understatement. So, this twenty-page black-and-white photocopied fanzine is mostly an excuse to run as many drawn images of women wearing skimpy attire (or sometimes no attire at all) as possible, whether in short comics or as single images. Not very likely to get my custom, then, BUT there was that cover. And honestly, who, being me, could resist that cover? And actually, artist D.Gordon, who is also the publisher, does a pretty good job of drawing Santa Claus in bondage, so he is more versatile than you'd give him credit for.

Ho, ho, hmpffff!

A little seasonal drawing done with Manga Studio with only a trackpad. When I get back to my tablet and stylus, I'll try and do a more detailed version.

Santa Claus in Hell!

Good lord! It's Santa Claus! Being held prisoner in hell! So it seems I'm not the only person who has fantasies about the jolly ho-ho-ho-er. This is from Gumby Winter Fun Special published in 1988 by Comico. Script is by the brilliant Steve Purcell, also responsible for the inspired lunacy of Sam & Max, and art is by Art... Adams, that is! Astute menwatchers will note a strong resemblance between Santa (aka Ray Crabbe - so we get to know his real name at last) and Scottish actor (now Sir) Sean Connery. Which only makes this example of Santa Claus in bondage all the more delectable!

'tis the season to be jolly

Of course, the mature man of the day is the world famous Santa. This is how I'd like to find him on Christmas day. No wonder the old codger hasn't brought me anything for years.
