Ve haf veys uf telling zu ver zees come from!
436 - Arthur Sarnoff's cover for The American magazine, April, 1955
437 - Howard Chandler Christy's illustration for Elinor Glyn's story, "Lessons in Love" in American Weekly, April 10, 1921
438 - Supergirl comics
439 - Superboy and the Legion of Super-heroes comics
440 - Cheryl Blossom comics

A consistent fan was somewhat dissatisfied with my last offering, which I interpreted as that I was getting a little heavy on the dark forced femme stuff. SO ... I decided to lighten up a bit with these. DeeMan, whaddaya think?

436 - I LOVE Sarnoff's illustration! I suppose one could argue that forced femme is at work here, but to me, despite what Househubby says, an impromptu continuation of love games between a dominant wife and her subby hubby are what is going on here. My guess is his mom will not be at all surprised :-)
437 - Howard Chandler Christy was a great illustrator of Romance novels around the turn of the 20th century (which I collect) and so much of his work lends itself to TG treatment. I suppose I could have done this from the Allies' side, but the man had a Kaiser mustache and WWI is so far in the past that I'm taking a chance that no one will be offended. Besides it gave me a chance to write an atrocious German accent. :-) (The last WWI vet in the USA died a few years ago; I think there are one or two still alive in Europe.)
438 & 439 - As I've mentioned before, I'm not into superheroes (Exceptions: Dr. Strange and Howard the Duck - and he's questionable as qualifying for super - and, of course, Wonder Woman!) but I hadn't done any for quite awhile, so here's two.
440 - Forced femme is implied here, but our hero(ine) is able to turn the tables on the mean girls because she LOVES what they have done to him and turns it to her advantage, much to their dismay.

Desperate Househubbies is a great idea! I'd love to see more!

I liked the supergirl one most.

There have indeed been a lot of different looks tried with Supergirl, who by the way, will be 50 this coming march having first appeared in the May 1959 Action # 252 (meaning it was on the stands in March.)
Just a few of the looks of the Maid of Might
