Sandy Ricks in Dolphin in Pursuit

Sandy Ricks 2 by bondageincomics

Sandy Ricks is the son of Porter Ricks, chief ranger at Coral Key Park and Marine Reserve.  Introduced in a 1963 movie, Sandy was a character in the 1964 television series, produced by Ivan Tors Production, about their adventures with their bottle-nose dolphin Flipper.

In the 1964 series, Sandy's job was to appear to translate for the dolphin and to get into trouble so that the animal star could rescue him.  The series lasted three seasons.  However, I would have preferred more episodes with Sandy in trouble.

The picture "Sandy Ricks 2" was commissioned from the artist bondageincomics through DeviantART in 2014.  

This picture was inspired by the two-part episode "Dolphin in Pursuit".  While accompanying his father on a patrol boat, pursuing an escaped convict Bardeman in a miniature submarine, Sandy finds that the villain has emerged with a gun pointed straight at him.  Young and bare chested, Sandy looked so exposed and vulnerable being threatened at gunpoint by a desperate criminal.  

In this whimsical departure, Bardeman orders Porter to bind and gag Sandy and place him in the miniature submarine in order that the athletic, blond, shirtless teen may continue to serve his useful purpose as his hostage.  

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Luke Halpin's portrayal of Sandy Ricks in the 1964 television series "Flipper".  This is an original scene and did not appear in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
