The Humorama Spanking Cartoons!

#223 - Secretary Spanking #45

The December 1958 issue of Breezy was probably the last one of that title from Humorama's classic period of 1955-60 that we were able to get our hands on, and fortunately it contained this nice Bill Ward cartoon of the "bend over, get a swat" type. Ward has trafficked in this sub-genre before, with Touch Your Toes for a Big Surprise, Nurse Grabner Bends Over, and Secretary Spanking #23. This one may be thought of as a later and improved version of the last of these. The bending over position is better, with knees kept perfectly straight (a necessity!), the secretary's dress is extremely tight instead of rather loose, and the gag is, well, pretty much the same but we prefer it here because of the "big surprise" aspect.

This secretary spanking (#45!) is the last one known from Humorama at the present time. It is possible but we think rather unlikely that any more are out there because any undiscovered Humorama spanking cartoons are more likely to have come from 1972-74 than any other period, and spanking your secretary was already sort of passé by that time in the view of the editor (whoever he was), judging by the known "spankers" of that period.
