This one was brought to everyone's attention by Dave Wolfe on SpankingPanels.com. He had this to say about it:
"Oaky Doaks was a newspaper strip begun in the mid 30's by writer Bill McCleery and artist R.B. Fuller about a medieval farm lad who hammered a suit of armor out of the shed's tin roof and rode off to funny and often anachronistic adventures with King Cedric (the short, round, bald guy in the specs.)"
These are the 1939 daily strips from 09/27 to 09/30, and they are unusual in a couple of ways. First, this is an early example of a strip spanking, although there are perhaps ten that are known to have occurred earlier. But what makes these remarkable is the sheer number of OTK panels - five, with an arguable sixth. That's a lot of OTK time, and we love every second of it!

As an afterword, we should note that Judy really didn't do anything to deserve being spanked, but she does get rescued - eventually. If your conscience troubles you on that point, consider it a maintenance spanking.
01/02/2015 Update: Six years later, the strip was being reprinted in Famous Funnies, and of course in full color (remember that is basically how comic books started: as reprints of newspaper strips). We've included a little bit of the lead-in to give everyone an idea of what was taking place just before the spanking (see below). We're glad to have the scene in color, but when they set up the reprint they left out the entire sequence from 09/28/1939 for some reason, and it had three OTK panels - drat!
