Obey or Be Bound

Mr. Stanton created excruciatingly desirable women, who prove dangerous for their admirers. These powerful beauties follow their own perverse agendas, which usually involve infliction of pain, restraint and humiliation. Their irresistible physical appeal draws hapless men close, but that proximity invariably provides opportunity for spanking or sitting.

Friends of the Family
As in Family Intrigue [SKU #411], Lorraine and Dolly of Family Affair operate a retail establishment that provides implements of punishment. In this episode, we learn that their diverse clientele includes a gang of sexy sisters, all of whom have men that need continuous discipline.

The store has an sensuous policy that encourages customers to try out implements of pain before they buy. To accomplish this, Dolly conscripts her step-brother, Teddy, for an over-the-knee tryout of a long-handled brush. Then, sore and swollen, he must model impossibly tight whipping drawers.

To achieve a proper test of canes, step-sister Lily is locked into low stocks, which positions her panty-framed cheeks above her head. Dolly demonstrates the appropriate stance, grip and swing for cane testing. Then, one of the sisters gives both the cane and Lily a severe workout. In the last scene, Lily has a ring in her nose, attached to a leash.

The optimized ebook consists of original scans of the original booklet, which was produced on a copy machine. Dark shadows and graininess were reduced. Precious fetish details and pretty features are repeated, enlarged, next to the complete drawing or on the following page. Each scene is placed on a separate ebook page to offer clear access to these fabulous figures and faces, sketched in pencil by the Maestro in his last period. The set of 33 pages is exposed for careful inspection on 60 ebook pages. Even with minor imperfections, the optimized ebook provides a viewing experience far superior to the booklet.

Down and Helpless, Again
A rambling work with 30 pictures, Down and Helpless, Again shows an erotic assortment of pins and straddles. This work may be the last of the Down and Helpless series.

The first sequence shows us a man’s immobilization when his wife and mistress conspire to achieve justice. We then see a review of the “Sit-On craze” and its diverse manifestations. We are introduced to dozens of sexy sitters who accomplish pinning rituals in the bedroom, airport, beach, park, tennis court, gymnasium, campus and barn. As helpless males are held in place by two or four resilient hips, a hand or foot often covers faces.

Also from Mr. Stanton’s last period, these drawings show unexpected detail and precision in the pencil lines. The source material does not consist of original scans, but the resolution of the files provides plenty of pixels to accomplish satisfying images. Shadows intended to show contours were lightened and dot patterns were relieved on bodies. The viewing mechanism of the optimized ebook provides an opportunity for enjoying these drawings that is superior to the unadjusted, full-page scans or the original paper.

Obey or Be Bound
A kind acquaintance in the UK gave us 39 low-resolution image files containing Obey or Be Bound, a Stanton comic in four parts. We didn’t know of this work. We’re sharing it in this product as an extra for fans of Eric Stanton.

Lenny is caught sniffing Mrs. Tress’ underwear. Instead of punishing him herself, she saves him for her luscious daughter, Pamela. The lady of the house does get her whip out for husband Fred, though. In the finale, punishment is made public.

The illustration style is similar to Isle of Agony of the 1970s. But the files have been copied and manipulated so many times that most of the gradients have lost subtlety.

—resolution is low
—picture quality is only fair

The pictures were adjusted and assembled into an ebook. Despite obvious shortcomings, most will be pleased to learn about this obscure work.
