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.
