Zack Mosley's Smilin' Jack comic strip had a long run (1933 - 1973) during a period when
adventure strips, even some others with an aviator hero, were fairly common. Although it ran
for forty years, we never followed it. That's how we missed this scene in which Jack is doing more
spankin' than smilin'. In fact,
he spanks both a woman and her mother, which may be some kind of comics first.
As can be seen in the second panel, Jack has somehow managed to get both women over his knee at the
same time! Actually, it looks pretty awkward, but like so many other comic creators who drew the occasional spanking,
Mosley was not into the scene - he was simply representing life as he saw it, and the spanking of
adult women was by no means uncommon during the years he was drawing the strip.

01/08/2009 update: We had heard there might be more than just one spanking in Smilin' Jack, but until recently had
never actually seen one. Then Chross posted this one, which caught our attention right
away (Dave at Cherry Red Report was quick to notice it too). Here a mother shows her
grown-up daughter she's never too old to get some "Maternal guidance" (the kind you get with a hairbrush!), and she won't be hearing
any argument from us on this subject!
We don't know if this is the same mother/daughter duo spanked by Jack in the panel above, or what the exact date each panel first appeared was. If
anyone has any more information about these or other Smilin' Jack spankings, please let Dave or me hear from you - we'd love to
know more.
