The third spanking in Moon Mullins like the first features Mamie the cook as our spankee. This time, her husband Willie is the spanker. In a sense this is the fifth spanking also, for it was repeated twenty years later, why we don't know. Let's see them now.

Moon Mullins May 7, 1950. Sweetspot says: "A before and after scene as Willie swats Mamie intentionally. He is upset with her because she has just informed him that she let his creditors know that his new laundry business has been a success." © Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate.

This is another discovery of CSR Chief Strip Researcher
Sweetspot.
It's more of a paddling than a spanking since Willie uses a broom (1930) and a carpet beater (1950) as Mamie bends over, but
it is fairly well-motivated as Mamie has let his creditors know he's come into some money. Perhaps this will teach her how
a loyal wife is supposed to behave 
.
We said above that the 2nd of these two is the fifth spanking from Moon Mullins - "in a sense": for the purposes of The Comics Spankings Data Base only the first will be included because the contact is shown on-panel.
