The fourth spanking from Abbie an' Slats unfortunately takes place off stage, so it can't be counted in the Comics Spanking Data Base, but it's a good scene nonetheless. When Mr. Forbush's grown daughter gets a little too big for her britches, he decides to take her firmly in hand with what sounds to his secretary through the closed door like "an old-fashioned whipping with a real old-fashioned belt!" We certainly hope it was applied OTK, and while we would have liked to have seen that position in the final panel here, we must admit that the scene as rendered by Raeburn Van Buren is hightly effective dramatically.
A "tip" of the cap to Tiptopper, who kindly provided us with this nice, high-quality scan. He says that it is
"probably from the 1960's...You can tell by the more sophistcated drawing style that is much later than the Abbie 'An Slats comics that you already have" [i.e. #'s 1-3 already in this gallery].We aren't going to make an Abbie An' Slats index yet because Dan Rivera remembers one more in which Slats spanks a spoiled heiress, and we're still trying to find that one.
Date unknown; script probably by Eliot Caplin; art by Raeburn Van Buren. Posted by the Web-Ed on 12/30/2011 (click to enlarge).
