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

In this fourth episode in our George Morrice series, a young woman asks while being spanked, "Is this what you meant when you said you will impress me with your stern discipline?" The (implied) answer is, "Yep - that's pretty much what I meant!" This isn't much of a gag since it's hard to imagine any other interpretation of the phrase "stern discipline", and it may well be that Abe Goodman rewrote Morrice's original caption, but this is nonetheless a pretty good cartoon. The positioning is somewhat unusual (a variation of bending over in which the spanker's leg takes the place of a chair back, table, spanking horse, etc. - almost a combination of OTK and bending over) but attractive, and our only reservation is the excessive modesty in having the spankee's dress not raised completely out of the way. As we have remarked previously, bare bottoms were of course out of the question during the period (1950's) when this cartoon probably first appeared, but spankings could be given on panties or a slip.
