Chicago Spanking Review

Captain Easy #4

---> Comics Gallery 2

Here's the fourth spanking we have from Captain Easy. Actually, it's the first chronologically, which is why it says "Wash Tubbs". You see, Captain Easy is one of those comic characters like Popeye (in Thimble Theatre) and Nancy (in Fritzi Ritz) who become so popular they eventually take over the strip in which they originally appeared in only a supporting role.

This is a very fine spanking, probably from the 1930's and certainly before 1943 since the original creator, Roy Crane, is still doing the strip. Once again, we have good OTK positioning and plenty of good hard whacks! "He geef me the spank," says the spankee, as she rubs her still-smarting rear (we love any post-spanking indications that the spankee really felt it). Easy sure as heck did "geef her the spank" - excellent!

01/30/2015 Update: Our guess about the date of this episode being in the 1930's turned out to be correct - it was definitely 1932, and we believe sometime during October of that year. The scan below was discoverd by Richard Windsor, and the copyright date in it is more clear than in the earlier version, which also omits two panels to condense the story.

02/02/2018 Update: Thanks to Sweetspot, we have new scans and a conclusive determination of the exact date the spanking occurred. Three years ago we believed the date was October 1932, and we now know the spanking appeared on Halloween of that year. Let's take a look at the new scans of this fine scene:
