Is it time to retire the term "Bondage Cover" like we did with "headlights"? 4 4

Cheesecake will always sell, but bondage and headlights aren't terms I hear used anymore.  Does anyone under the age of 50 collect specifically for those genres?  I'm 40, and I find "injury to eye" far more compelling.

My wife likes to tell people that I collect anything with a female chained to a wheel involving a branding iron.

Does one really need a term to describe this one?

Wertham said it fine... "Sexual stimulation by combining "headlights" with the sadist's dream of tying up a woman".

Although, I don't think kids of the time were quite that sophisticated.

You don't want to know what I paid for it back in the '70's...

$1 BIN!!

I grew up with a native indian family that lived next door to me and the family had a son and daughter my age and we hung out all the time. The son often referred to me as "honky". I never cared to be honest. 

A while back I was out jogging and someone yelled 'HONKY!' at me out of their car window. I couldn't tell the person's race. It would have been even funnier if they were white.

The term is actually derived from the pejorative 'hunky' people of western European stock used for people of eastern European stock, so it wouldn't have been out of common usage.

I like the term Mycomicshop uses: "Spicy cover"

I’ve never been called ‘hunky’ before in my life even if utterly inaccurate. So I’ll take it 😀

Is it normal to be able to swivel your eye that far to the side?  I can’t do it.

Mirror imaged in my head, it looks quite wrong.

My wife came home a couple of years ago and told me that she'd been cut off in a parking lot and the other woman had called her a "honky". She'd never heard the term before, which was pretty hilarious. I told her she must have lived a pretty sheltered life. Had she really never seen The Jeffersons???

That headlight and bondage label is utterly ridiculous.. and should be removed.. where do you find these books... umm asking for a friend..  

[exitmusicblue]

This thread would interest my wife, given her general distaste for Vampirella aka "boobie vampire."

Eventually terminology will evolve like everything else in life.  I don't see the terms "bondage" and "headlights" being carried on by the next generation of collectors.

Well its best to learn from real life-when you learn from another comic artist its like making a photocopy of a photocopy-each iteration gets a bit weaker.
And its not hard to draw hair!  I could teach any comic artist how to do it in about 5 minutes.  Really a laziness that annoys the hell out of me.
