We've held back on this one for a long time while trying to identify it. The light-haired spanker bears a resemblance to Steve Canyon, but there appears to be a signature at the lower right-hand corner, and it isn't Milton Caniff's. We're embarrassed to admit we can't tell for sure whether the style of the art is consistent with Caniff, a giant in the comic strip world and an man who influenced an entire generation of artists at least. We hate to make excuses, but the reproduction is of low quality, probably a xerox copy of a microfilm or microfiche scan, making identification of the spanker difficult. The riding boots are a clue, but this guy could be Aquaman for all we know!
Whoever drew it, it's a fine spanking with good OTK positioning, emphatic hand motion, and struggling spankee whose protests and fist-waving do nothing at all to lessen the sting being imparted to the target area!
