Ego Stipes Ergo Sum
How it slipped past the censor is a mystery to this day.
old ones nvr old..like Hansi...I got hold of a bundle of Flash Gordon comics at an impressionable age,
I think they were redrawn updates of the 1930s originals,
but I remember that episode vividly -
Flash is in the clutches of an evil queen who's drugged him so his memory's gone;
Dale has got herself enrolled as a slavegirl in the wicked woman's palace -
when she bravely tries to attract his attention by dropping a tray,
he doesn't recognise her - and while the Queen enjoys a night with Flash,
Dale's dragged down to the dungeon for a lesson in obedience!
As in the cinema, there was more chance of soft porn getting through in the 30s
than in the post-war years - there's quite a lot of mild eroticism in the Flash Gordon comics,
though I think the flogging scene is the high spot.
A couple of other samples (I love the see-through harem-style ski-pants! )

Adventures in Another Realm
Chapter VII
The story so far:
Messa and Siss continue to try and explain to RR that he really should not consume things out of bewitched jars....especially if they say 'Eat Me'
That's my all-time favourite Boris painting!
if it is foolish enough is it fiiting here...not sure if Ted Nugent's "Call of the wild" or half dozen of Pavlov's Dog 'Pampered menials fits here...
