Jacqui Gets A Proposal

There was the possibility that this particular Saturday would be a memorable one at Gomorrah Square, and that possibility would be decided by Jacqui, pictured here making an appearance on the square.  Known around here as “Giant-Jugged Jacqui”, she was the irrepressible sort who would be considered quite normal anywhere else, but here in Cracker County, she is an immoral slut in need of the harshest discipline and punishment.  Hence, here she is in, what is for her, a common scene—strapped to the whipping post on the square and ready for our local matron to give her a good, healthy whipping.

Today, instead of wondering why her whipping was considered “healthy”, Jacqui’s attention was focused on a particular, purpose-built machine added to the square.  The explanation for it was that whipping didn’t seem to make any discernible improvement in Jacqui’s behavior, so after today’s strokes were applied, Jacqui would be strapped into the machine in a rather obvious way.  Once situated, with the inevitable consequences of the machine’s function apparent to Jacqui, she would be offered a proposition.  If she accepted, she would be released from the machine, and would be off to fulfill the consequences of that proposition.

And if she didn’t accept?  Well, if she survived the machine’s singular function, she’d need a new nickname!

Human Subjects

Like other research institutions, the Cracker County Institute of Agriculture and Technology has a protocol for those situations where human subjects are involved.  However, one of the things that attracted Dr Betsy Mountwell to the Institute was that its Human Subjects Program had a protocol that largely was concerned with the safe disposal of human remains.  Betsy's research required many of her laboratory assistants to make the ultimate sacrifice for science, and at her previous university the questions she faced about the number of her assistants' disappearances were beginning to become uncomfortable.  Therefore, her recruitment by the CCIAT was as timely as it was welcome.

As has been noted, Betsy strongly believes in involving herself personally in her research.  While the project illustrated here was progressing rapidly to term, the progress was a bit more rapid than Betsy had planned, and she was anxious to discover if she could truly bear the final result of this experiment.  She did not want to introduce any variables, such as an X-ray, into this protocol, so an autopsy on an unadulterated version of the experiment was somewhat urgently needed.

While not quite willing, Betsy's assistant was quite ready and able to provide the means to answer the professor's critical question.  And though it was not the most efficient way to prepare the human subject for her autopsy, she knew her benefactors from the Cracker County Clan would find it quite entertaining!

Rough Stuff--Last Request

Here is a sketch that I'm readying for coloring of a recent execution of a local woman who had violated Cracker County's strict moral code.  I know that justice here seems kinda harsh, but when you find out what she asked of the hangman as a last request, then you'd realize what tramp she truly was!
