The foreign exchange program in Translavonia has a pretty good reputation for educational quality. People say that the physical assets of the Institute are crumbling and shoddy, but the instructors are first-rate. Perhaps a little bit strict, but it works:
“I won’t half-tan your ass, you better believe me!” he said. And then she heard her mouth get ahead of her brain: “You can’t! It’s about half-tanned anyway just from being in the sun!” Wrong thing to say:
Somehow I never imagined that mermaids wore panties that you could remove for spankings. In fact, these mermaids are slightly less fishy — as in, their fish half seems to be more like 3/8ths — than standard for the breed. No matter, it makes things a lot more simple when you need to remonstrate with them about their misbehaviors:
I am not sure just what sort of altercation these two ladies in red are about to solve by means of a brisk whipping, but it’s sad that we only get to see the beginning of it:

I don’t know the story behind this artwork so I had to make one up. Sister wives, I think, in a patriarchal scheme where the odious burden of pleasing the patriarch is lightest when fairly shared.

I believe the artist is Roger Benson. By the way, I could use some help from some of you compleatist OG spanking art collectors. The above is a cropped version of the original image, which was taller and showed the spankee all the way down to her cowboy boots. You can see a lower-resolution scan of that taller version illustrating a 2010 story at Voice In The Corner. Does anybody have a higher-resolution scan of the full art? If so, please share. Thanks!
