Another cartoon from some men's humor mag, this one by Dan DeCarlo, and probably originally published between 1955 - 1965. DeCarlo for many years drew the Archie cast of characters, and you can see some of the same innocence here. In fact DeCarlo (1917 - 2001) drew several spanking cartoons during his long career, and the girls in them, though of course always pretty, all had this innocent quality. That's not to say the cartoons as a whole were so innocent - most of the time, it looks like more than duty is motivating the spankers, and the reader is invited to share in their fun.

"I'm sorry miss, but I ran out of tickets!" the caption reads. Too improbable to be taken seriously, but consider the possibilities: If only young, pretty, female offenders could receive a summary spanking as punishment instead of clogging up traffic court calendars, think of the time that could be saved! It's a nice fantasy.
