Our story is called "Sweeter Kisses" and features a young couple, Bob & Carol (no Ted & Alice, though). Bob is
quietly secure in their mutual love, but Carol wants reassurance, and when a masher named Shep tries to move in on
her (underwater yet) she hopes Bob will take some action. The art here is by Charles Nicholas, who long before had
drawn that crazy M/M Rockman Spanks Pixies panel; the script is uncredited but may well
have been written by Joe Gill.

Bob, displaying impressive maturity, refuses to rise to the bait, explaining that "If you're my girl friend, I don't
have to worry, Carol." The only problem with this is that it might be misinterpreted as cowardice, and sure enough
Shep decides to make trouble.

Shep escalates the conflict from verbal taunting to an actual fistfight, so Bob, although somewhat overmatched, has to
fight back and manages to knock the obnoxious Shep to the ground.

Having disposed of Shep, it's time to deal with
Carol, who is partly to blame for the trouble by allowing Shep to go as far as he did in order to provoke a response
from Bob. Bob decides a spanking is in order - good man, that Bob!
|
Looks like the spanking was a good one, for Carol cries out "Yeeooww! That hurts!" and we see the classic pain stars
in the follow-up panel. Bob further proves his manliness by telling her "Next time you'll get more!" Carol
has been taught the error of her ways, and falls into his arms for a passionate kiss. Overall, a very satisfying scene
showing another romance rescued from difficulty by a "taken in hand" moment and a good spanking!

Here's a full-size look at the spanking panel. Regarding Carol's conduct, it should be mentioned that women occasionally
"test" their mates to see what kind of response they get (this is the source of "brat" behavior as a special case). We suppose
this behavior evolved because the female must be selective in choosing a male, but it can certainly be obnoxious at times,
and well-deserving of the spanking treatment.
