I ...I have been looking ALL OVER for this picture! I CAN'T BELIEVE you have posted it! When I was a kid, say around 8 or nine years old, I saw this coloring book in a store and opened it up. This picture was in it and I was FASCINATED by it! Two major things developed out of this innocent little picture. First, I have a foot tickle/foot fetish and this drawing contributed greatly to that in my childhood years. Secondly, I am a major Batman fan...and this Neal Adams work, of course, was a forerunner to my fascination with his art for Batman which I would discover many years later. The irony was that in the 60s when this work was published, I had NO IDEA who Neal Adams was! I was just a KID who LOVED FOOT TICKLING!<BR/><BR/>This picture works on so many levels for me. Why or how did Ben Casey end up in this predicament? I remember in the TV show he was quite a stern-faced physician...so to see him overpowered and helplessly brought to laughter like this was an INCREDIBLE turn on for me as a child...although I didn't quite know why...<BR/>How were these clowns able to subdue him? The sole of his foot looks so soft...almost feminine. The clown doing the tickling is ruthless and is obviously enjoying tickling that foot judging by the large smile on his face! I imagined he was saying "tickle tickle tickle..." or "kitchy kitchy kooo..." as he stroked the good doctor's foot with that tiny, yet VERY effective little feather!<BR/><BR/>Ironically, my mother never bought me this coloring book...and I had always thought it was just something I'd imagined. <BR/><BR/>Your posting of this picture means more to me than you'll ever know...THANK YOU!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439395770318106268noreply@blogger.com
