We proceeed now to the last of the three spankings of Olive Oyl discovered by Sweetspot. This one takes place sixteen years later than our previous example, and by this time (1948) E.C. Segar has been dead for ten years and Thimble Theatre had been taken over by Tom Sims, Bela Zabola, and Bud Sagendorf - decidedly lesser talents. But despite being rather pale imitators of Segar, they managed to produce a spanking scene that is of some interest, mainly because it's of the type where the spankee finds herself more attracted than ever to the spanker once he's taken her OTK. This is not too long after Phantom spanks Queen Pera and Evad spanks Queen Arda (both 1946), and we imagine Sims, Zabola, and Sagendorg picked up the idea from one of those strips or another similar to them.

Below we have the spanking panel and the one right after it. The art done in Segar's style but without his verve or imagination, but at least they got the OTK positioning right and gave us a nice post-spanking panel with a lot of rubbing (and pain stars!) that indicate the spanking was a good one.
