Another spanking cartoon, this one by Bill Wenzel, one of the prolific mainstays of men's humor magazines of the 1940's through the 1960's. The original date and magazine are unknown. Wenzel favored cute, full-figured women, and along with the other cartoonists of the era drew the occasional "spanker". Like most specimens of the genre, it doesn't stand up under close inspection ("A well-rounded education begins from the bottom up" indeed - it's not her education that's well-rounded here), but we can forgive a cartoon's shortcomings as long as it features a nice spanking. Besides, there's good reason to suppose this caption was not the original, since it appears to be set in a psychiatrist's office (the couch and the certificate on the wall). It was customary for editors to occasionally "recycle" old cartoons from their files using new captions.
