Oh Wicked Wanda!
 

The other day a friend and I were discussing the early days of Penthouse magazine. They had a monthly thread in the Letters to the Editor section entitled "Pain and Pleasure." Basically, it was spanking letters which was something rarely seen in mainstream publications of that era. So on the strength of that alone, Penthouse became my favorite magazine.

Another one of my favorite features was their monthly comic strip entitled "Wicked Wanda." Wanda was a feminist super hero, a sort of Xena the Warrior-type character with a blond sidekick named Candyfloss. The strip was beautifully illustrated, witty and very cleverly done. But the best part was all the spanking references that it contained.

For some reason, the thought to try to find these comic strips never occurred to me until the other day. I really didn't expect to have much luck, but much to my surprise, and with relative ease, I found a site containing them all. Including my all-time favorite from the September 1973 issue to which I'm posting a link.

So if there any other ex-Wanda fans here or anyone else who might be interested, check this out...

HOLY CATS!!. You won't believe this but I actually DO work in the Chamber of Horrors at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. I wish you coulda seen my face when I checked out Page 4 of the first story. LORD has it changed in 30 years. :p

Congrats on the find. Any "Little Annie Fannie" fans out there?

What a great Find Jackie7. I remember both of thiose very well.......in fact still have some of those old issues stashed away somwheres. One of those letters from the "Pain and Pleasure" section is in large part responsible for me being involved in all of this today.
