mitchmen at war No 19 - Special Duties for GI's

 If you think my tales of ordinary soldiers being conscripted as 'personal servants' for Officers (see 'Batmen') was a purely British phenomenon born of the Public School and Class System, the story of GI's sent to the Pacific Island of Belangor (affectionately known as Bell-End-cor!) may change your mind.

US Soldiers serving on Belangor were a peculiarly handsome lot and their superiors delighted in sending them out on training missions that involved wading through muddy rivers, so that their uniforms clung sexily to their bodies. On return to camp the whole lot had to strip naked and shower under the watchful eye of instructors and other 'interested' parties.

 It had all started 6 months before when Corporal Suchak had approached his superior, Colonel Madison, with a novel and audacious proposal for improving Officer morale. 

 

 

Madison was wary of Suchak's plan, codenamed 'The Full Treatment', because it involved diverting valuable men from combat duties. But Suchak knew from personal experience that when Madison said 'No' he often meant 'Yes, but I must know nothing about it'. So he wasn't put off and began an unofficial recruitment campaign around the Army base.

 

 

 

Suchak had spotted Private Lowery swaggering round the base in his tight, revealing shirt and pants some time before. After some clandestine observation to confirm his suitability for service, he put his name down on his selection list for Belangor. The MP's soon found an excuse to pick him up, the most minor of infractions could be used to effect a requisition into Colonel Madison's 'fatigues squad'. Within days Lowery was labouring in the tropical heat of Belangor wondering what he had done to deserve it. But the best was yet to come.

 

Sooner or later most of the enlisted men on the island were 'seen' by Colonel Madison. It usually meant that one of the Senior Officers had requisitioned them for some private R&R. The men soon learned that stripping off your shirt was a sure way to get chosen, but Lowery wouldn't be told, he liked to show off his physique. General Norvis, the Commander of the Island no less, had spotted him on one of his walkabouts and you can guess the rest....

 

Inevitably, Suchak's dubious activities eventually reached the ears of someone higher up.

General Norvis, was summoned to explain just what he was doing on Belangor. 

Norvis knew the game was up, he'd make sure Madison and Suchak got the blame of course,

but perhaps he could salvage something from the mess.......

Mitchell's Art for October - Captive Soldier Milked

Mitchell - Captive Soldier Cuffed, Gagged, Milked

When Corporal Tom Culver had been captured he'd expected to be grilled for information, but not like this. Nothing in his training had prepared him for this. He 'd been stripped to his underpants in his prison cell before they'd brought him here. Then they'd led him through the enemy camp, hands cuffed behind his back and the opposing soldiers they'd passed had stared at him, amazed at the sight of the scantily-clad captive passing amongst them and nudging each other knowingly.   

The Guards left him in the Interrogation Room, standing at attention as nearly as he could, with just this single Officer there with him. He sat behind his desk and looked at him, without saying a word. Culver was anxious anyway and feeling as if the man's eyes were scanning every inch of his body, he soon began to fidget uncomfortably, shuffling his bare feet on the wooden floor. To break the silence he recited his name, rank and number as military regulations required him to do, respectfully finishing with the obligatory "Sir!". 

It brought no response at first, then the Officer smiled thinly and got to his feet, chair creaking as his weight lifted from it. The Officer's leather boots creaked too as he skirted the desk and came to Culver's side, so close that Culver could smell the leather of his shoulder belt.

"Thank you Corporal". The Officer spoke quietly with a distinct accent, "but I will let you know you when I want you to speak ....or to make some other noise" he added with a strange smile. He rifled in his pocket and said "Open your mouth". Culver hesitated, starting straight ahead, then as the silence lengthened, he obeyed. "Very good Corporal" the Officer said and stuffed a wad of fabric into his open mouth. It was still warm from his pocket. Then he tied a strip of fabric round the Corporal's head to hold the gag in place. "There, that should remind you" he said, "Now is not the time for talk".

He put his arm round the back of the Corporal's shoulders and squeezed them reassuringly. "Let's get to know each other first. I expect you feel a little nervous, but there's no need to be". As he spoke his free hand began to trace across across the contours of Culver's chest. "You're a fit soldier, I approve of that" he said, his fingers working their way down across his undulating abs until they reached the depression of Culver's navel and gently pressing on the wrinkled knot invoked a penetrating sensation Culver had never felt before. Further down he followed the waistband of Culver's underpants left and right then slipped a thumb just inside and plucked it gently. "A manly garment" he observed, "functional and modest". Culver quivered as his hand drifted across his rounded pocket framed by the branching Y-seam and gently stroked it. He wanted to break away but did not dare, he felt the grip on his shoulder tighten. "Don't be frightened" the Officer cajoled him.

Suddenly the roving fingers poked into fly opening of his pouch, questing within, Culver twisted away but the arm across his shoulders had dropped to waist level and pulled him back, lifting him almost off his feet and denying him leverage. While he hesitated about resisting more actively his cock was winkled out of his haven with surgical efficiency and soon drooped forlornly out in the open. 

The Officer released him. "Thank you Corporal" he said and began to remove his jacket. Draping it over the desk, he unbuttoned and rolled up his shirt sleeves. "My colleagues would have you in agony by now" he said "but I use other ways". He flicked open the top two buttons of his shirt to reveal a glimpse of muscular, hairy chest. "Both ways are hot work" he smiled and Culver quailed as the restraining arm snaked round his waist once more pulling him into an aura of manly sweat.. 

Over the next ten minutes the Officer's quiet voice coaxed Culver into a completely relaxed state. As his fear of pain receded, his determination to resist faded with it and soon the hand gently manipulating his manhood began to elicit a response. Once that had started there was no stopping it. Released from the shackles of fear and drunk on the warmth and comfort of close physical contact, Corporal Culver gave up much more than he had ever intended to.

Only then did the Officer return to his desk and pull from his top drawer a riding crop.

This is a picture that reflects my long-standing passion for underwear, particularly in traditional, white formats like the Y-fronts seen here. It's been rekindled by the ongoing Amalaric Art Series which features an unending parade of undergarments of this type. In captivity it's shaming and creates a sense of acute vulnerability - as Corporal Culver will testify if he ever gets the chance.

A Footnote On Amalaric's 'Cruel Justice'

Amalaric - The Wizard

I wrote in the last post about how the severe punishments meted out to Steve Delgado, Doogie and the Slaves of Oz had made me think about why we are drawn to these stories and about our 'limits'. 'The Wizard' (above) is here to impart wisdom to this discussion but his butch appearance and super erotic loin cloth suggests a very simple answer:- it's entertaining and sexy to see men in danger, particularly when they are not fully clad (it's also perfectly normal, just ask Daniel Craig fans!). However Amalaric's captors usually take the captives way beyond the threat of danger and he describes at length what is only touched upon in Bond movies, namely sustained bodily attack.

Of course, we all approach these tales from our own personal perspective, but it's probably common to see this treatment as a sort of rough sport, like Boxing, American Football or Rugby. A sport which is character-building and which the recipients should be well capable of handling and still come back for more, just as sportsmen do.

Indeed, in some of the stories the men virtually volunteer their services in exchange for escaping the law or some other imperative or, naively, just to prove their mettle (John in Jarheads, Part 5). In other cases men are just 'picked on' to suffer, but we can view the arbitrary selection process as a 'shit happens' aspect of life that we are only too familiar with ourselves, thank you very much.

Deep inside, we know their tormentors are really genuine admirers (like us) who only want the men for their male qualities and (unlike us) just happen to have the power and inclination to take whatever they want. Those taken are not expected to like what happens to them, although Ric in 'Jarheads' (Part 5) seems to hope they might – eventually. But besides the unpleasantness there's a streak of fair play and compassion in their treatment, of 'order' in fact, that respects the captive's manhood, humanity and his right to life - if not his right to freedom for the time being. As they say, what doesn't kill you leaves you stronger, although I would hesitate to suggest these men should be grateful for an opportunity to serve in an Amalaric experience.

The characters in the 'Cruel Justice' stories have all earned retribution (at least they have in the eyes of their tormentors but we can see there's an element of doubt about just how much retribution they have earned). In any case they are not given any choice in the matter, there's no sense of fair play and the outcomes are pretty extreme. Arguably Dave in '24 Hours' is in the same boat at the height of his suffering and other characters certainly suffer extreme examinations too, but they do survive them.

Rob Tells Of His Shame

These are just fantasies and the people in them are not real so Amalaric doesn't usually ask us to consider the consequences for the abductee. Apart from, that is, from a striking chapter in 'Bobby', whose first victim, Jim, experiences something of a breakdown after he is released and, in a moving epilogue, is nursed through it by a compassionate, gay friend (see 'Bobby' Chapter 4 at Aquadude Bunker).

In 'Oz' and 'Steve Delgado', Amalaric shows us the captives' humanity less directly, we simply see their undeserved suffering at the hands of ruthless wielders of power who are (fortunately) not at all like us – i.e. the uncaring, exploitative inhabitants of Oz and the repellent, corrupt Sheriff  (whose return in a different persona to torment Doogie is instrumental for me in dragging that story into this group too). As gay men we are only too well aware of this sort of oppression and I found myself getting off the bench of neutrality for once to sympathise with the victims.

Of all these stories, Oz presents us with a particularly challenging outcome, confronting head on the question of what happens when the owner/keeper no longer wants his captive. Usually Amalaric leaves that question hanging (so to speak). Sometimes he resolves it by selling the problem on to someone else, preferably abroad (e.g. Ric sells Rob in 'Jarheads'), sometimes he consigns them to indefinite detention (as a slave for Coach Devereaux or for Steve it's a long prison sentence). Occasionally escape happens, but more often freedom is given with a 'gagging deal' to avoid repercussions (e.g. Ryan in 'Bobby' and Todd Sanders). In Oz, however, it seems the end result for all the rebel, former slaves is very simply to be a painful death.

The possibility of death as an outcome for those who (for one reason or another) cannot be freed is occasionally hinted at in a number of the other stories (e.g. Party Animals) or it may occur to the victim himself, forming part of his torment (e.g. Devereaux in 'Academy Thugs', Dave in '24 hours'). However in general we only hear of deaths actually happening in war or at the hands of judicial forces (See 601, The Reprobate and 602, The Barbarian King in Part 6). The deaths are not usually described, the (bloodless) crucifixion in Oz is matched by only one other explicit execution to my knowledge, another tragic crucifixion scene, described but not illustrated in the early, Roman Slave story 'Army Deserter'.

Both of these are secondary characters, but in Oz we also see a large group of leading men, with whom we strongly identify, all set to suffer an unpleasant death, separately or together and it's chilling. This dramatic effect is enhanced by the fact that the erotic temperature in this piece is on a very low simmer and less distracting than usual. The only significant sexual passage results in a nasty death that is the turning point of the story, so there's little comfort there! Amalaric's audacious cannibalisation of the 'Gay' Land of Oz gives this satire a double-edged bite and the child fantasy connections in the story (like the Joker in 'Batman') infuse it all with a mocking sense of madness that is all pretty disturbing. These elements set Oz apart from the other stories. There's a seriousness about it that gets through to us, but all these stories teach us quite a lot about ourselves and our limits.

Part 7 of 'The Art of Amalaric' will follow in a few days

 

The Art of Amalaric, Part 6 - Cruel Justice

 

601. The Reprobate

You may not recognise this image but for me it's one of Amalaric's best, although it's not typical of his work, apart from the presence of an exceptionally beautiful, captive man experiencing a punishment. The mediaeval setting is unusual but it conjures up another era in which absolute power existed for some and punishments sometimes plumbed extremes that shock and repel us. 

That goes some way to explaining The Reprobate's apprehensive look.

'Reprobate' tends to be a mild term these days, a synonym for a 'likeable rogue', but in this era it meant a person who was wicked and beyond salvation in a seriously religious sense. Described as a serf and rebel leader, this man looks too well-groomed and exercised to be a mere peasant, but a higher status is no protection from the ultimate punishment. The 'costumes' in the picture graduate towards a simpler, more basic style in the foreground as though reflecting this man's fall from grace and privilege. Those closest seem more modern and natural to us, without compromising the overall historical feel.

Of course, the Blacksmith could be simply making fetters for the captive prior to incarceration, but his totally naked state (on a cold winter's day) plus the bowed head of the clerical figure just in front of him, tells us something much more unpleasant is going on. It's quite normal for Amalaric's captives to experience rough treatment, quite often it's inflicted randomly but without malice by their Masters, but for those caught up in the judicial processes of the State, retribution is cold, calculated and unstoppable. You can read more at the link below.

Frame restraint in various forms is a recurring feature in Amalaric's work, but this is an unusual example, The crossed arms stance creates a surprisingly powerful impression of helpless vulnerability although the X-frame itself seems quite flimsy, a token restraint in a ritual which the captive seems to have accepted as inevitable. This and his physical beauty tugs at our emotions.

In this image Amalaric demonstrates that photo-manipulation can outdo rendering, retaining subtle human characteristics and details that are hard to create from scratch. The setting is more picturesque than his usual fare but provides a believable context. Unlike most of his collage-style works the principal characters are tightly integrated in this composition, convincingly connected by placement, perspective and eye-lines.

Another prominent photo-manip artist, Baron, is famed for producing photo-like images. He labours over minute details so that the 'joins' and sources of his material are completely disguised. Amalaric may swap heads or bodies but he doesn't usually pursue that level of refinement. Paradoxically our brains end up perceiving Baron's, mostly historical, images as movie stills rather than 'real' photographs. Amalaric's picture here looks more like a painting than a photograph and in a way that seems more authentic.

The face of the captive here may look familiar to you, we've met him before in a more modern predicament (if you want time to ponder where, I give the answer at the foot of this post). Swapping him into a historical scene doesn't have the same enriching effect I talked about in Part 5, here he's just an actor.

Read Reprobate at Aquadude Bunker

602 The Triumph Of Respublica

This image shows another rebel, one with the highest of aristocratic credentials in his homeland of Britannia. Now he's a captive and obliged to take part as 'booty' in the Triumphal Parade of his Roman conqueror. It's waiting for him just through the archway.

Stripped of his clothing like a common slave, he is mockingly adorned with the Royal Treasures which previously defined his elevated status. Now they and he are nothing but the spoils of war, the best specimens that could be extracted from a conquered people. They are all the property of a new owner. 

But this proud man's humiliation, subjugated and reduced to a display manikin, is merely temporary. It is only the ceremonial prelude to his formal punishment for leading the rebellion and for this crime, there is only one sentence.

Steve Delgado and the Sheriff's Daughter

603 Steve Delgado, Locked Up

You don't have to be an aristocrat to experience the grinding wheels of Justice but of all the hunky men who get caught up in the tendrils of Amalaric's black fantasies, Steve Delgado must be one of the most unfortunate. He's a modern day 'Miserable' who is relentlessly pursued by his Nemesis and all because of a crime that never even happened.

Steve is a drifter, earning a crust as a casual labourer in a small town in Arizona. As the title of the story suggests, he has a fling with the Sheriff's daughter. It's all perfectly legal, if morally objectionable to some, but their love nest is raided by the Sheriff's Deputies and Steve is flung into jail protesting his innocence.

The inspiration for Steve's visual characterisation is an image that I published at this blog some years ago in a post entitled: Hang Around. The model is a man with a hairy body and a fresh-faced, boyish, innocent look. He seems woefully unsuited to coping with Amalaric-style torments and that mismatch gives an extra twist to the black drama that follows.

His pose here, somewhat in the manner of a martyr preparing himself for his fate, is most apt.
(he models a classic Stage 4 undress with visible underwear waistband).

 

604 Steve Delgado, Appointment with a Bull Whip

At first Steve is simply bemused since he hasn't committed any crime. But Debbie, it transpires, is the Sheriff's daughter and Daddy doesn't approve of their liaison at all. Sheriff Cummins is chillingly painted by Amalaric as the archetypal, small town, bullying cop. He runs his domain with an iron fist and basic values, aided and abetted by a set of fawning lackeys who share his liking for brutality and domination. A rootless drifter like Steve is an easy target for them.

Steve's protestations about his innocence and rights are brushed aside They make no secret of their intention to abuse him for as long as it takes to get 'the truth' and they find justification for further brutality in his every act of resistance. They already have him bare-top and restrained in shackles (inverted Y-style) when Debbie arrives to watch. She then alleges that he forced her to have sex with him.

The Sheriff immediately has him stripped naked and takes a bull whip to him.

605 Steve Delgado Between Punishments

That whipping is not to be the end of it.

More brutal interrogations follow as the Sheriff ensures that the law takes an inexorable course towards a rape prosecution. Steve realises to his horror that Debbie is enjoying his maltreatment as much as the cops do. Denied access to a lawyer it dawns on him that he has no way of stopping the assaults.

Steve's isolation and mental torment while in the Sheriff's custody is convincing conveyed through a series of very simple images in which his tormentors are absent or else have only a peripheral presence.

 

606 Steve Delgado Kneeling on a Lead Pipe

In the days that follow Steve is relentlessly tortured until he confesses to raping the Sheriff's daughter. His resistance is finally broken after being forced to kneel on an iron bar, alone in a cell for hours on end with agony mounting by the minute, while the Deputies sit just outside enjoying a game of cards and beer and watching him. 

Amalaric's image illustrates that crucial scene of lonely suffering. Like Dave's Shibari experience in '24 Hours', (Image 315), it looks innocuous, but it's not, the passage of time wreaks havoc on unnaturally-pressured bones, joints and muscles.

607 Steve Delgado's Balls Are Shaved

Once having confessed, Steve is fair game for the Deputies 'medical exam' which naturally includes a milking, supposedly to prove he was capable of the crime. They also obtain other DNA samples by using invasive, humiliating techniques.

Steve's virile, hairy body has been a object of repeated, scornful comments throughout his ordeal and at this point the Deputies amuse themselves by shaving off his pubic hair. Shaving is a fetish procedure that is rarely as satisfying in imagery as it is in the flesh or the imagination, but Amalaric's illustration is one of the clearest and sexiest I have ever seen. His unusual 'reconstruction' captures well the sense of vulnerability and exposure and the humiliating posturing involved. The absence of lubricating foam gives this ritual an edge of rough crudeness and risk as emasculation is added to Steve's list of humiliations.

 

608 Deputy Doyle Prepares To Fuck Steve

Steve probably wouldn't appreciate the muscular beauty of his final, (very hairy) assailant. Deputy Doyle is shown here stripping off in an 'inset' image that telescopes two viewpoints into one. So we sense Steve fearfully waiting, but unable to see what is happening. The cop stiffly standing guard over him (note baton angle and hand!) likens the scene to an execution. It's not quite that bad, but Steve's written confession guarantees him a long prison sentence and his ordeal continues even in there. A truly wicked twist in the story leads to an erotic climax of biblical dimensions.

Even by the usual standards of Amalaric's stories, this is a harrowing tale. Not simply because of the nature of the tortures meted out on an undeserving victim, but because of the unrelenting, cold-blooded vindictiveness of the Sheriff, who is determined to brutalise and eliminate a man he considers unsuitable for his daughter (she herself joins the Amalaric list of evil, manipulative women). Amalaric paints Cummins with remarkable skill as the stereotypical Southern small town Sheriff, a repellent, self-satisfied, know-all tyrant, surrounded by toadies and full of casual contempt for those who fall into his clutches and thus become subject to his well nigh, unlimited power. Just reading his dialogue made my skin crawl. Unlike some of Amalaric's other central characters, Steve does not volunteer or assent to punishment, nor does he make any foolish mistakes to bring it down on his head. A doom-laden narrative charts how he is inexorably propelled into incarceration, caught up in a maelstrom of relentless taunting and cruelty. It's not an easy read, but it's hard to put it down.

In essence the story of 'Steve Delgado' is not so very different from the enslavement fantasies but there's an element of familiarity and reality in this scenario (possibly born of movie influences) that makes it seem much more possible. Amalaric's choice of a boyish-looking man to play Steve in the imagery makes his terrible treatment somehow seem all the more horrific, like punishing a defenceless child. Steve's appearance is very Anglo-Saxon but his surname is actually Hispanic (a detail which is perhaps more obvious to US readers than the rest of us). It tempts us to re-imagine this story with a Steve who is ethnically Latin, or even Black, that's an alteration that would make for a very challenging read indeed.

'Steve Delgado and the Sheriff's Daughter' has not been available on the web since the demise of the 'Chained Muscle' site. Amalaric plans to re-publish it at Gay Bondage Fiction in due course.

Dungeons of the Emerald City

Steve Delgado's life is arbitrarily taken away from him and he is cast into a different world of imprisonment. This is also the essence of the story of 'Dungeons of the Emerald City'. Emerald City is the capital of the land of the Wizard of Oz and Amalaric's fantasy is built using the constructs of that tale, but it is a long way removed from Dorothy's experience of that domain. He channels the setting and zany characters into a dark, dark tale which has no red slippers escape option.

609 Joe Skelton On The Block

Like Dorothy, Joe Skelton finds himself inexplicably transported to a fantastic world formed from earthly ingredients but refashioned into a bizarre, cartoon-like form. Almost immediately he falls into the hands of a gang of munchkins, but these are not the cute, harmless creatures of old, but violent opportunists. It seems that men like Joe, regularly turn up out of the blue in these parts of Oz. The munchkins make a living from capturing and enslaving these confused and bewildered humans. Before long Joe finds himself up for sale on the Emerald City's Auction Block stripped to his underpants (of course) for the big occasion.

 

610 Slaves In The Fudge Factory

Joe is purchased and set to work in the Fudge Factory. It's a comic name (with ambiguously humorous, fetishistic overtones) and we're told that....

“...the floor of the cavernous factory presented a fine sight of straining muscular torsos,
gleaming with sweat in the filtered light....”

Nice as that may sound, it's essentially hard labour for the slaves in terrible conditions, which the overseers ensure is not without regular punishments and sexual bullying. Despite the ambience of a childlike fantasy, we get a not too pleasant glimpse of the reality of enslavement from the slave's point of view.

 

611 Insurgents Night Operations

So far this seems like a weird variant of the familiar Amalaric tale of enslavement - until the cruelty of the munchkins drives the slaves to unite and revolt. They begin to wage a violent, organised, guerrilla campaign against their oppressors and as the illustration shows, widespread death and destruction follows. By showing their humanity, striking back at their oppressors instead of just escaping from them, these men change our perceptions of them.

 

612 The Scarecrow

Bobby Jacobs, like Joe, had somehow been transported to Oz. He too was 'harvested' by passing munchkin Slavers and sold to work on a sugar plantation. Liberated in an 'Oz Liberation Front' raid, he naturally joined the rebels, but was re-captured when an informer betrayed a planned raid to the Emerald City Authorities.

In Oz, runaway slaves are normally returned to their owners to return to work (after due punishment), but as rebels these captives were condemned to death by the State. Bobby was crucified on the plantation where he had worked, without nails so he would suffer a slow death, alone in the fields save for the curious stares of passers-by. Amalaric shows nature carrying on prettily around him, unmindful of his suffering.

The original Oz scarecrow was a man without a heart but not devoid of compassion. In modern story-telling we still draw on the idea of a man or a soul trapped within the scarecrow, but horror movies have shifted the emphasis to associations with mysterious death, isolation and exposure to evil. Jotto's take on the Scarecrow theme which I posted earlier this year suggests a mysterious, horror lurking within the scarecrow. Amalaric brings it out and makes it explicit and real. 

 

613 In The Custody of the Mad Munchkin

Most of the rebels end up in the bowels of the enormous, underground 'Dungeons of the Emerald City'. It's a magical place in some ways, but populated by creatures who delight in inflicting suffering. Here simple death is often the least of the unpleasant fates available. Amalaric assigns a particularly grisly one to the captive shackled to the slanting post in the centre, but all these beautiful men face terrible torments. Two of them look anxiously towards us, as if wondering if their turn has finally come. We do not know what happens to Joe but can only fear the worst.

There is a variant of this image and a brief extract from the story describing the nature of the Emerald City Dungeons in the 13^th of the 1001 Nights at Aquadude

 

"Dungeons of the Emerald City" is not really an entertaining enslavement fantasy, despite outward appearances, but a bleak tale where Amalaric shows us very clearly the implacable nature of institutional oppression, which as gay men we can (still) identify with only too well.

“Dungeons of the Emerald City” is not currently available on the web.

Amalaric plans to publish it at Gay Bondage Fiction.

614 Doogie Gets Rowdy At The Board Walk

The story of Doogie Muir, the uncontrollable teenager, is another example of merciless punishment, but one much closer to home. Doogie and his friends have long been raising hell in their community, the nature of their misdeeds is not spelt out but 'the townsfolk' have decided to take action. At 19 years old, Doogie is too old to be taken over the knee, but the corollary of that in this world is that he's gonna get something much worse. This super image of one of his numerous arrests sets a promising scene for his comeuppance.

 

615 Doogie Strung Up In The Garage

Retribution comes in the form of an arrogant 'rent-a-cop' from the College which Doogie's supposed to be attending. A 'cop' whose demeanour and imagination bears a disturbing resemblance to that of Sheriff Cummins. He is aided and abetted but Doogie's own, weak Dad who despairs of controlling his wayward son.

Doogie is manhandled into the garage and stripped, initially to his underpants to receive the strap. His friends who arrive for a pre-arranged outing and some nosy neighbours are invited in to witness his humiliation and even to take part in it. Later Doogie is stripped fully naked (above) for a further series of punishments which continue late into the night, long after the 'witnesses' have left and eventually transition into arcane techniques which are definitely in the 'unusual' and adult category.

Afterwards, the averted eyes of his friends and by contrast the eager interest of certain neighbours are an ongoing reminder to Dougie of the full extent of his humiliation.

This seems harsh justice indeed for (mere?) Anti-Social Behaviour. So why don't Doogie (or the witnesses) simply report this terrible, non-judicial beating to the authorities? Amalaric gets round this by getting the City to legalise it. The City Council adopt the suggestion of short, sharp, shocks for troubled youth and set up a proper centre for it's implementation.

616 In Need Of Discipline

You'd think Doogie's friends and associates would have learned from witnessing the terrible treatment of their 'leader', but being of a certain age and afflicted by the youth disease of relativism - 

“(so and so) got away with (something similar), Miss”

 - they drift back to their old ways and in due course they get their own visit from a Cop. That a stomach churning moment is splendidly captured in this image. He has come to escort this young offender to the new centre set up to bring all these unruly youths into line. 

 

 

617 Doogies Friend

Summoned to the same place, Jim Peterson discovers that the improvised restraint of Doogie in his father's garage has given way to a very formal X-Frame in the re-purposed barn and his correction session is not for just an evening but two days of what will be continuous chastisement in various forms.
Unsurprisingly perhaps, he, like Doogie, emerges a changed man. 

Above, Jim warily looks round to catch a sense of what's coming next.
For some reason, I love his bare feet on the concrete and the pile of discarded clothing.

618 Televised Flogging

The semi-judicial nature of the punishments meted out to Doogie and their evolution into a more formal corrective system for his friends links into the story of Mike Walker. 

Mike, a 26 yo, repeat offender became the first of his community to fall under similar, newly enacted, punishment laws. He experienced a fully legal flogging, not exactly public, but televised to a select, paying audience so as to augment the City revenues. 

Amalaric helpfully explains all the provisions of the new law regarding age limits, permitted implements, target areas, number of hits, dress code and display arrangements – it's all so involved protecting these boy's health and safety! 

As you can see, Mike is a truly exceptional specimen of a man and this has prompted the cameraman to get in very close. Mike's bowed head adds something special to this image. The Civic Punisher waits in the wings, poised to strike with crotch bulging and weighing his whip impatiently. His physique is no less impressive than Mike's and ideal for television, which may well have helped him land the job, out of what must have been a very long list of eager applicants.

Mike, we learn, was “soundly whipped while stripped completely naked in a brightly lit cell beneath city hall”. We can only speculate what effect it had on Mike to be whipped by a muscular Adonis, instead of the overweight oaf he might reasonably have expected.

from 210^th of 1001 Nights at Aquadude Bunker

Amalaric's in-depth explorations of these fantasy scenarios, filling out the fine details of procedures and their implications make fascinating reading and are scattered throughout his works, notably in the '1001 Nights' series.

 ~

For me, these examples of 'Cruel Justice' differ from the 'rough and tumble' of the various punishment and enslavement yarns I explored in previous Parts of this series, having a more serious edge that prompted me to question what draws us to this genre of fiction and I will offer a discussion on this in a separate post, next. 

Meanwhile the fictional legalisation of the unthinkable touched on in the concluding images leads us in Part 7 into the subject of 'Institutional Slavery'

Amalaric - 'A Barque Full Of Briefs' (with narrative by Mitchell)

Amalaric - A Barque Full Of Briefs

The men of Lickchester Rugby Club were disappointed with their Caribbean Cruise. Admittedly it had been very cheap and it was certainly an atmospheric 'experience'. The dress code had come as a bit of a shock, but they'd got used to it after a few days and it did seem a sensible solution to the sweltering, tropical heat and the crowded accommodation. However, the food was terrible and the crew wouldn't tolerate any larking about or misbehaviour. They'd been unexpectedly harsh with the prop forward who'd helped himself to an extra ration of bread from the storeroom while no-one was looking. 

Fortunately, the Team were used to strict discipline from their Coaches and were still looking forward to a few weeks of complete relaxation in the sun at their ultimate destination - The Old Demerara Plantation Resort. Situated on a remote island that didn't appear on any maps, privacy from the prying eyes of the press was guaranteed. Apparently the management always laid on lots of strenuous activities for their guests, but most of the guys were planning to just crash out by the pool,

......after all nobody was going to be cracking the whip, were they?

Holiday Tip: Look before you book!

This image was especially created by Amalaric to commemorate the currently on-going review of his work here at mitchmen. It reflects our shared enthusiasm for men clad only in traditional white underwear and inspired me to create this Rugby Team storyline to accompany it. It's a fantasy which owes something to the story of the Raytown Softball Team (published at  Telemachus12). 

You can substitute a team from your own preferred sport.

The Art of Amalaric resumes with Part 6 shortly 

The Look of Naive Disbelief

The Humiliation of Cam

 
Cam is smugly boasting about his expensive, new, leather jacket.
Guido's trunks suggest he might have earthier topics on his mind.

Cam continues to show off, much to Guido's irritation.
But the posing exposes one of the best features of his new outfit
a tantalising glimpse of nicely rounded, red pouch.

Guido makes straight for it with a crushing claw-like grip.

As the grip tightens, Cam stops boasting and gasps instead

Propelled by his balls into the (mercifully padded) wall
Cam must be thinking 'Jez! Waddaya do that for?'
His neatly swept hair is now drooping in dismay

Having drawn Cam's attention to the vulnerability of his balls,
Guido strips him of his jacket and uses it as an improvised 'wedgie'

Unconventional, but it would truly be a shame to spoil the attractive,
rounded shapes and curves of Cam's trunks by grabbing hold of them to lift him.

Cam's crack gets the warming-up treatment now,
but I suspect he's howling mainly about the abuse of his precious jacket here

 While Cam kneels protecting his battered, griping groin,
Guido moves in with close-up demo of his muscular forearms.

 

It's a move that readily converts into a reverse, neck lock with a distracted opponent.
It forces Cam to push his torso forward and open his thighs,
in order to ease the pressure on his neck and back.

 I like to call this move, 'the armpit smother'.
Cam's face is engulfed by Guido's sweaty, hairy armpit
and Guido clearly relishes his discomfort

In addition he (and we) get a great view of Cam's packet,
still looking unexpectedly fulsome, considering the abuse it's had.

It's got to still be tingling.

 

Guido switches to Cam's legs, folding them into a figure 4.
By lifting them in the air he applies pressure to his back.
Cam's buns peek out of his clingy trunks looking nicely plumped 

 

Guido moves round, levering Cam's legs against the crook of his arm
and applying more pressure on his back to produce an anguished look
and a super curve running down the front of his thigh and abdomen.
He can now feast his eyes on the sight of Cam's cute buns.

 

A change of hold brings Guido's tackle within touching distance of Cam's buns

 

As though inspired by this sight, Guido forces Cam into a basic surfboard position where he can get a ringside view (so to speak) and continue working on Cam's back. We get a peek at Cam's crack through the gap produced by his tensed buns

 

Cam's hair flies as he frantically struggles to relieve the pressure

 

You sense he's weakening here.

 

Guido gives him another tweak.

With electrifying results.

 

Cam surrenders.

 

The winner's privelege is to extract a forfeit.

Cam's strung up by the wrists, the stretch will help his tortured back

But he's unable to prevent Guido from revisiting those other sensitive areas

Finally it's off to conclude proceedings in the privacy of the locker room.

 We get a nice view of Cam's rangy body departing.
