The unmistakable style of Stiles (Kirk Stiles, that is) on display in this fine example of the kind of cartoons that were common in men's humor magazines from the 1950's through the 1970's. Only a few of these cartoons featured spanking. Here, a wise counselor demonstrates a novel approach to improving this couple's marriage, which meets with the husband's full approval. We don't know the exact date this was first published, but judging from the implied attitude towards relations between the sexes, we'd say it was certainly a better time than now. This conclusion is further strengthened by two significant facts: (1) The husband is wearing a jacket and tie, instead of shorts and a baseball cap; (2) The wife is getting spanked. The single best feature of this cartoon is the expression of joyous contentment on the young wife's lovely face. At last she's going to receive what she's needed for so long!
