Here's another one from Dan DeCarlo, who has had several other of his cartoons featured in this gallery. The spankee protests that she's not the spanker's secretary, which seems pretty unlikely given the office setting and business attire, but as we mentioned in the preceding entry, it was customary for editors to occasionally "recycle" old cartoons from their files using new captions. We know we saw this one years ago with a caption that read something like "I am the chairman of the board and I will not tolerate typographical errors from my secretary!". This cartoon of course appeared many years before the excellent movie Secretary (2002).

Here is the version we mentioned above. The caption reads, "I am the chairman of the board, Miss Shapely, and I will not tolerate clerical errors from my secretary!" As you can see, we remembered the caption pretty well, if we say so ourselves.

And just for the sake of completeness, here is a different scan of the first version.

And finally, here is an animated version. The kicking legs are kind of cute. We're not sure who did this one, but it may well have been Jon (UASketcher).
