Men, huh? Can't live with 'em. Can't strip 'em and spank 'em. Well actually, you CAN, in this little corner of cyberspace. Around here, fully grown males are at constant risk of humiliating bare bottomed correction - hence the 'humblings' of the title.

Rear Window - Love Our Lurkers Day 7



'That's a secret, private world you're looking into out there. People do a lot of things in private they couldn't possibly explain in public.'

That's Detective Doyle from the 1954 Hitchcock classic Rear Window, in which an invalided James Stewart passes the time by obsessively watching his neighbours from the back room of his New York apartment. That we're not repelled by his behaviour is partly down to the actor's everyman charm, but also surely because in him we recognise the voyeur - the 'lurker' - in all of us. Put yourself in Mr Stewart's shoes (or rather in his plaster cast and wheelchair) and you can well understand his temptation. Now add a small plot twist that substitutes a spanked husband for a murdered wife, and try to tell me you wouldn't peep - just a little.

It's fun to watch, and if you can do so unobserved then why not? I have hundreds of visitors pass through here every day, and only a very few of them stop to say hello. Today's the day - organised by the wonderful Bonnie at My Bottom Smarts - when we celebrate that silent majority of people across the world who keep our hit counters ticking over and make the effort of blogging worthwhile. Many, many spanking bloggers will be making special 'Love Our Lurkers' posts and I encourage you to stop by as many as possible.

Thank you all, sincerely, for your visits - whether or not you leave a comment. But if you've ever been looking for an excuse to contribute for the first time, then why not do so right now? I'd love to hear from you! Tell me a little about yourself, say what you like and don't like, ask me stuff - it's all good. Or just pop your head up and say 'hi'.

All you regulars are more than welcome to chip in as well, of course!

By the way, no doubt you're going to find today's animation something of a tease. But by way of incentive, I promise that if enough newbies say hello over the next few days then the light will be staying on in future! :)

    1. Hi Red. 'Tis an old dilemma, how to punish those who enjoy spanking. In any case, I hope to make amends soon.

  6. Agreed with Red, should get a spanking for being a tease. So in the spirit of the day. Just wanted to take the time to say that I like your art and apriciate it.

    1. How are you doing, Q? Thanks for the kind words - the animation was a lot of work but it does seem to have done the trick.

  13. I'm not exactly a lurker, but I don't post often. And if you tease us like that again, young man, you will find out if you can code Flash standing up for a week, do you understand me?

    1. Oh my, Emily. After a talking-to like that I don't know about standing up - I think I need a cold shower followed by a lie down!

  14. Come on, she can't spank him that effectively in the dark, can she? (Outside, with a touch of moonlight to illuminate a white (to start with) masculine posterior, that's a fun way to be paddled--but IME it's pretty dark inside a house without any lights on.)

    Hopefully our 'peeping' won't cause any little pups to be killed, anyway. (Remember in "Rear Window," when the dog was killed by the murderer because it was digging in the garden, where it turned out the wife's head was buried?)

    Happy (Belated) Lurker's Day... --C.K.

    1. Ah, CK. Ever the realist ;). She has, um, night-vision goggles or something.

      The honest truth is that after working on this until about 3am on Friday I decided I really did have to go to bed - so putting the lights out was the easiest way to get me out of the challenge of animting the spanking itself ;). Of course, now I have more time the extended edition - the director's cut, if you like - is in the works.

      Thanks for this and all your comments. Oh and yes - I do remember the dog! :)

  16. I have written before but I am not sure the comments were welocm or tht they stuck.I think the current work especially magical.Reminds me of old marionette and silhouette theatre.


    But instead of Punch and Judy and the abuse of women its the abuse of males but for children at the seaside.Few bat an eyelid when punchinello is beahvaing as he does.

    1. Hi, Anon, and thanks for contributing. I rarely if ever reject comments, so I'm not sure what happened there. Sorry about that. Please don't be put off!

      You're right about the shadow puppet effect. I didn't set out to emulate it, but it does have that kind of feel.

      Punch is certainly a sinister character and I'm never quite sure how people were able to enjoy those shows! Rest assured that the young man here isn't being abused - he's definitely done something to deserve the hairbrush.

  18. Well I guess I missed the actual LOL day.
    Anyway, it looks like you got lots of well deserved comments. But then the posting was amazing. I got captured by it enough to watch it several times.
    Looking forward to the next post.

  19. Hi, I'm not exactly a lurker either but I don't post too often even though I really like your stuff (I'm waiting for the next part of "Another Country" anxiously).
    I'm not getting the animation on my page and I'm pretty sure my Flash is current. Any chance of a link to a download?
    Thanks.

    1. Thanks, smuccatelli. No idea why the animation wouldn't work for you, but you can get to it direct here.

      That'll probably also make it full-screen, so you'll get to see all the naughty little details!

  20. Your 'rear window' scenario is magnificant , albeit a bit of a tease leaving out the spanking itself....as you did with 'another country....great work !!

    Replies
    1. Thanks, Anon. I will be removing the tease element as soon as I can ;). As for Another Country, I thought it worked quite well to end it there - sometimes less is more - but I'm not completely averse to writing a final chapter!

  21. Longtime lurker, first time commenter here, love this animation, the silhouettes are fantastically done, especially like when she gives his erection a good flick before getting the hairbrush!

    Definitely want to see more!

    1. Welcome, junglepup. I'm glad you liked that touch. My stuff isn't usually as overtly sexual as this - but I decided the censors would let me off since it's only seen in silhouette ;).

  28. Newbie here! PLEASE continue animations like this. The imagination runs wild with something like this and, after all, it's our imaginations that drive our love of spanking. Your work is soooo good; please keep us entertained with more.

    1. Thanks so much, Anon. Lord, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get around to replying to these comments.

      It is indeed all about the imagination. I'm a firm believer in the idea that the artist meets the viewer halfway. Lots of what you enjoy in a drawing or animation comes from you, not from me. :)

  32. Just saw this. What a great post. Likewise loved the little flick on the penis. Clearly shows she considers him to be all hers, as opposed to this being a bit of play.

  34. so the light never stayed on . Does that mean that a fib has been told and someone else is needing a good spanking ?

  35. That's amazing and very thrilling to watch in profile etc. Superb..

  36. Thanks for the comments addamms, Anon and Nick.

    The penis flick made me chuckle even as I was coming up with it, and I did hope it would trigger a smile of recognition in all of you guys who have developed a little 'problem' while waiting to be spanked. It really is disgraceful behaviour. I mean, it's meant to be punishment - isn't it? ;)

    Daddy, apologies that the light hasn't stayed on yet - but that just means I've been exceptionally tardy than outright dishonest. A fully illumiated version is in the works!
