Chicago Spanking Comics Page

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.

12/24/2010 note: We wrote the above before we knew who these ladies were or how many other spankings there were in this strip. JS666 has since identified the women (see below), while Dan Rivera has speculated that Mosley might indeed have been one of us (see Smilin' Jack #6 ).

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!

12/24/2010 update: JS666 has kindly pitched in by cataloguing the various Smilin' Jack spankings for us. According to him, this is indeed the same mother/daughter duo spanked by Jack in the panel above - Cindy and Cherry. We have created new pages for all the other scenes. The next one may be found here.
