Read this series from Part 1
The first two pictures in this post were part of my first posting on the internet back in 2007.
They predate 'The Cactus Kid' but might well have been incorporated into a sequel.
The first one in particular fits the brutal feud between Cactus and Grainger who stole his land.

| Mitchell - Ranch hand stripped and whipped |
In the privacy of a barn, a young cowboy is punished by a mature foreman.
He has taken the first stroke with a determined, defiant, yet questioning look.
The sweat on his face reveals an inner story of pain and fear.
The foreman's scolding face signals that he's not finished yet.
The young man's offence, deserving of a bare assed whipping, is not obvious.
His brand new, swanky, double gun-belts, worn over skin tight jeans, accentuating his ass and distracting the other cowboys from their work might have been provocation enough to the old hand.
The leather vest worn without a shirt and revealing youthful muscles was perhaps too much.
He disarmed the boy with a flick of his whip and told him to drop his gun belts in the dust.
Another stinging flick on his bare forearm was needed to persuade him to obey.
Then his hands were tied and he was led to the barn and tethered to a stall
The gathering cowboys who tried to follow were turned away and dismissed.
The boy was pretty sure that a whipping was coming his way
before the old hand stepped up close behind him and whispered as much in his ear.
He could feel his bristles and smell stale cigarettes and sweat as he scolded him.
Then he felt him reach round, and one by one, begin to undo the buttons of his jeans.
The foreman took his time, easing down the young man's tight jeans
knowing he wore nothing underneath and enjoying his embarrassment.
He knelt to tug them right down to his boots, creating a make-shift hobble.
The boy felt his hairiness brushing against his bare buttock skin.
To add to his humiliation, the foreman mockingly returned the empty gun belts
Buckling them round his waist, low down, sagging across his hips,
artfully arranged to criss-cross, curving over the young man's rounded butt cheeks.
Rough hands groped between his thighs, securing the holster ties, brushing under his crotch.
The foreman surveyed his work and was pleased. The belts made his target area smaller,
and the barn, though private, would restrict the swing of his whip.
It would be a challenge to his skill, but a most enjoyable one to address.
He gripped the chunky stock of the whip tightly, feeling rising excitement.

| Mitchell - Cowboy Tied To A Gate |
A cowboy has been tied, spread-eagled to a wooden frame.
He hollers in protest and his unprotected buttocks quiver with fear,
as well they might on an all-male ranch, full of lonely cowboys,
where the nearest entertainment and relief is an hours ride away.
This image reveals more of my obsession with unprotected bare bottoms. The 'furniture' is more a punishment frame than a gate. The middle rail is the key element of the device, securing the wrangler's thighs and preventing evasive movement in the adjacent areas of interest. The rail is removable so it can be placed in front of the captive's thighs as well as behind. Similarly, he can be tied facing the gate so his frontal equipment becomes the focus of attention. The tied shirt is a practical way of keeping the area clear, but was a surfer fashion back when I drew this.
The whip and dicks of the local cowboys are the obvious beneficiaries of this arrangement but it has another use in the ranching scenario which I will explore next time.
