Art by George Morrice. Posted by the Web-Ed on 06/25/2010

The fifth episode in our George Morrice series features a caning, one of the indications that Morrice was British
and rare if not unique among the many Humorama spanking cartoons. The humor here derives from the wife's desire that
her husband cane her before he sees how much damage she did to the car, not afterward. Of course, jokes about
"women drivers" are out of fashion these days (to put it mildly) and really date this cartoon, but we like the way she's
handing him the cane and voluntarily bending over to receive her punishment.
