Alley Oop is one of the better known comic strips, dating all the way back to 1932. It was created by V. T. Hamlin, who did the strip for over forty years, including this spanking episode which we believe dates from April 1954. We don't know what led up to the spanking, but one cave man speculates that "she'll turn on the tears, an' th' old man'll let her off easy." He was half right - King Guz didn't let her off too easily, but she did turn on the tears: "Boooo Hooooo ...!"
