This post is a guide to what you will find in the mitchmen Club at Adonis Male

The mitchmen Club is the principal archive of Mitchell's published stories and pictures. There are two sections - Images and Files. Most of Mitchell's pictures are published as illustrations to his stories, and the material at mitchmen Club is organised to reflect that. Thus, in the 'Images' section, the pictures are grouped by story into folders. The 'files' section contains a PDF for each story, with the images integrated into the text as it was originally published.

There are also a few themed image folders containing pictures that don't belong in a story.

These are the image folders as of June 2025:-

Tom of Finland - Mr Universe 01

If you are a fan of Tom of Finland, you will probably be familiar with this image. It's shows two leather guys pondering the world of bodybuilding and the 'Mr Universe' competition, which seems to be coming to a venue near them 'next year'. This image is often presented as a stand-alone work, presumably because of its aspirational, 'Pride' message, but it's actually part of a 'Mr Universe' series which was widely documented in its time* but seems to have become lost or dispersed since then. This article is an attempt to reconstruct it from contemporary sources.

*The Tom of Finland Retrospective (vol 1) dates this image to 1963, but the 'Mr Universe' series seems to have appeared in late 1961 (see below). It's not impossible that Tom produced this picture later, but it's obviously related, and I have chosen to make it the opening image for my reconstructed series.

According to Valentine-Hooven (in "Tom of Finland, His Life and Times" p101) Tom did the series for Rex Pickering at 'Scan' Magazine, and it was indeed first advertised in 'Scan' issue 9. It was also advertised simultaneously in issue 17 of 'Man Alive' (which we can date precisely to Nov 1961). In the latter source, it is actually advertised as a 'Hussar Studio' product. Around this time, Hussar also published Tom's 'Thieving Cowboy' series, about which there is even wilder confusion over publication dates! See the 2023 mitchmen 'Thieving Cowboy' article for more on Tom's relationship with Royale /Hussar.

Tom of Finland - The Leather Outfit Thief 01 (my title)

We don't know exactly how Tom viewed 'bikers' at this time, in the 'Mr Universe' image (top) they are drawn as cute boys with bubble butts, looking slightly naive in their leather jackets. However, in a contemporary series illustrated above, the leather man is portrayed as a muscular, god-like creature, worshipped from the bushes by an envious youth. It's another series (like the Thieving Cowboy) in which a set of clothes is stolen, and the same thing happens in the second of the 'Kake' series. In 1964, it's the motorbike itself that gets stolen. All these miscreants end up on the receiving end of a severe belting, and Tom's work is littered with handsome leather men treating eager, initiates in the same way. That's a good excuse for including one of my own favourite Tom images....

Tom of Finland - Leather Initiation

In later life, Tom was absorbed into the world of leather that fascinated him so much. Quite which end of the belt he saw himself is not known, but the experience of having his own drawings stolen in 1954 and widely pirated after he became famous may be relevant. In that context, the aspiration of two biker dandies to become more muscular and, by implication, more manly, makes perfect sense.

Tom of Finland - Test Your Strength

This image, with the same youthful admirer from the Leather Outfit Thief, is also from 1961. It's actually part of the 'Circus Set' but embodies, in a more positive way, the idea of manly role models for gay men to aspire to.

The 'Mr Universe' series isn't about joining the Leather Clan, but it is very much about justice and assertiveness. The scarcity of surviving, intact images is probably a reflection of Tom's attempts to control the distribution of his own work. In 1965 '101 Boys Art Quarterly' was able to publish only fragments of some of the individual images. In the same year, AMG published a couple of (complete) images from the set in Physique Pictorial with a typically waspish comment to the effect that they offered many of Tom's series for sale, but this wasn't one of them!

Valentine-Hooven says there were 12 to 15 pictures in the series, I have identified a group of 17 images that seem related, of which 2 or 3 are dubious, but interesting.

The story begins in the next post.

These Franco images are not so much Lab Rat (see previous post) as Rat Race.

Franco - He's been a naughty boy

To the best of my knowledge, this is an entirely new Franco device.

It's a brilliantly simple concept, with the leg-spreading surface creating discomfort for the rider

and a splendidly sexy view for us. Particularly those with a spanking interest.

An unusual device for an Office, you might think, but it's sophisticated design suggests it gets regular use. Perhaps it's a repurposed ashtray, no longer of any use in a smoke-free environment. At any rate, the Office setting is a refreshing change from the usual spanking worlds of overly-parenting daddies and perpetual education. Franco's all-purpose title doesn't give us much else to go on.

AI is gifting some great new faces for Franco's art. This man's fashionably casual, masculine look provides a great persona for the cube rider, suggestive of calculating ambition and polished presentation. In short, the sort of man who wouldn't want to be caught naked with a plug up his ass.

The hint of sweaty embarrassment on his face says it all.

I have imagined this scene as the interrogation of an Office Manipulator,

caught passing commercial secrets to the opposition.

The Office Manipulator (Franco/mitchmen)

Franco - By The First Few Slaps

There's a marvellous look on this man's face, too. Again, it's as if he's been caught by a new arrival walking in the middle of a humiliating punishment. His jeans suggest he might be a workman from the maintenance department, or perhaps it's a new, literal take on dress-down Friday.

Franco - Stripped and Strapped

The strap is a spanking tool that allows no prevarication or half-heartedness. If it's not applied forcefully it's not going to even reach its target. There's no scope for faking it. So it seems an appropriate device for dealing with this miscreant who seems to be a bit of a bruiser, well able to stand up for himself. It would take a serious misdemeanour to persuade a man like this to shed every stitch of his clothing and accept corporal punishment. Probably Carter from Accounts, caught dipping his fingers into the Petty Cash.

Franco - Introduced To The Strap

Another hunky man discovers the sting of the strap for the first time. Despite his obvious maturity, he seems to have a pristine, virgin ass, if there is such a thing! If he looks the sort of man who can be easily persuaded, his tormentor looks like the sort of man who is used to having his way. The setting looks like a stately home. Perhaps this visitor carelessly damaged a priceless artefact. There are few remedies in law for such a situation, but the threat of a ruinous lawsuit would make a short dose of pain seem like a soft option to one who was relatively inexperienced. He doesn't know, of course, that the artwork he broke was a fake, substituted for just this eventuality. Let's hope he hasn't agreed to pay his debt in installments.

Franco - The Song of the Strap

This strap sufferer looks the exact opposite in character, a toughie with hair on his ass to prove it. That's of little help in giving him protection from a strap wielded as determinedly as this. It's fierceness pays tribute to his butch persona, but, unfortunately, manly hairiness also bestows an obligation on him to bear pain with masculine dignity and not complain. In this image, we've reached the point where his stoicism is breaking down. A roar of dismay finally escapes his lips and his leg lifts in a futile attempt to block the spanker's stroke. It's a moment of triumph for some spankers, to break their man. For others, it's the moment when he ceases to be a worthwhile subject.

Franco - Dad's Mad

I prefer to see this titled as 'The Boss's Unexpected Bonus'. After giving numerous warnings, he's finally taking that lazy guy from maintenance to task for not fixing his radiator. He's amazed and delighted to discover that he's wearing a jockstrap under his jeans instead of the customary desire-dousing, baggy boxers that workmen usually wear. And they're framing the most delicious buns he's ever set eyes on. You can see by the look on the workman's face that it's escalating out of control, but his mesmerising butt is casting a spell that's not going to be easily broken. It's fortunate indeed that he doesn't have to go back to a desk job!

Franco - Fascination

Franco's provided his own narrative here that explores the sense of control a spanker might enjoy, framing it in the context of a consensual sport. His words create a genuine sense of mounting excitement that would create a great video if synchronised with the moment of ecstasy.

Also buried in here is the age-old belief that 'you like it really, don't you?' That is something that seems embedded in the psyche of many men, who can't quite believe that others are not necessarily what they want them to be.

Franco - Daddy's Plaything

For me, there's a sense of mistaken intention here as well, with the young recipient having donned a pair of extremely skimpy briefs to provoke his companion's lust. He believed that the promise to 'batter his ass' was about penetration rather than pulverisation. The top remains inscrutable.

Franco - Bouncin 'n Spankin

Some men really do enjoy it sexually, but you'd be lucky to find one that also looks as good as this. Great, cute face and great physique too, a gift from the Gods. It looks like he's having to concentrate, perhaps wanting to prolong the exquisite joy of pain administered by a generous, patient man.

This is another 'golden oldie' image given a new lease of life by AI.

Franco - Tantrum

AI has gone mad with this image, with stray limbs littering the bottom section, but I wanted to share the key ingredients - (another) great ass billowing out of lowered jeans and a subject who appears to be angrily trying to negotiate a ceasefire when it's obviously far too late! He might desist if he could see the outraged expression it's causing on his tormentor's face. Stop digging pal! I've shortened Franco's original title which is alliterative and defines an age range that I'd rather steer clear of at this blog.

Franco - Paddled

A room furnished in minimalist fashion seems an apt setting for a naked paddling. There's no restraint being applied to hold the subject in position, which amplifies the sense of his total submissiveness to serious power. There's a touch of the Hospital ward in the bed design which might suggest a medical malingerer being exposed, but I see a manipulative pick-up who lies in bed all day rather than pulling his weight by doing chores around the house. It's such a comfy billet that he'll even take punishment rather than lose it. He might regret that choice in the weeks to come.
