As we noted in Collegboy's pastiche
of Lynn Johnston's For Better or for Worse, it's not the sort of strip that would be conducive to a lot of spankings,
being in a double sense a family strip, and moreover one in which the kids were allowed to grow up in real time. Apart from some
off-panel disciplinary spankings of the kids, the "spanking" we're going to present now - it's really only a butt-slap - is the only one
we know about. It was discovered and provided to us by Alan, a long-time contributor. Thanks, Alan!

Elly doesn't seem too responsive, from which we infer (1) she's not into spanking, and (2) neither does she see spanking as some sort of "assault" to be abominated - perhaps this is Johnston's personal veiw as well.
