Howdy folks.
I'm a bit of a comic book journeyman and often spend long hours pouring coffee down my throat and flipping through ancient comic books online. I have trouble sleeping, so it's one way to pass the time.
I've even made a bit of a game out of finding tickle scenes (panels?) in obscure comics between the 1950s and early 00s. I've even developed a process of deduction that I'll share later in the post.
Anyway, I'm posting this here so that I can keep it updated with my various discoveries. I'll post a few I've already found shortly. These will not include manga because 1) I don't read manga. 2) The guys over at the huge anime thread are already whoopin' ass and taking names.
I'm not even particularly fond of tickling art, but I do enjoy the satisfaction of choosing the right book based on my series of inferences, which I will outline as follows. Maybe you'll find use for it too!
You are more likely to find a tickling scene in a comic if:
1. It's a comedy (tickling as a gag, nobody did it better than Yoly)
2. It's a comedy with a leading lady or prominent female character (older books weren't keen on violence towards women, so tickling as substitute)
3. It's an action/adventure with strong comedic elements (tickling as substitute for sex and violence)
4. It's a romance (for obvious reasons, though I've never read one myself so this one is just a guess)
5. The comic book art suggests whimsy.
6. The artist is barely concealing their rabid foot fetish (not always tickling related, but it is great seeing an artist really go wild with their foot illustrations)
7. It's a MATURE comic.
8. It's Italian, for some reason.
Okay, that's me done for now. I'll post my first few discoveries in the morning and will keep this thread updated forevermore or until I succumb to my injuries. Feel free to post your own findings as well by the way - I forgot to mention that.
