More maid-spanking from Bill Ward, this time in the bent-over position. Maids bending over (usually to dust something,
as here) are a popular feature of comedy going back at least to Burlesque, and Benny Hill certainly carried on the
tradition well into the modern era. From there it's only a short step to adding a spanking, and here we are!
The maid's transgression seems to be carrying on with the chauffeur, to which the lady of the house takes exception.
As usual for Ward, the female spanker is wearing as sexy an outfit as the spankee. This is a photostatic copy made from
an unknown Humorama digest.

11/23/2012 Update: Another piece of the Humorama puzzle falls into place as we now know that this cartoon
first appeared in the December, 1957 issue of Joker, or almost exactly fifty-five years ago as
we write this. Ward was still at the top of his form in those days, and he does a nice job on the
maid's "Uh-oh!" expression, as well as his usual polished effects.
