There are always plenty of laughs in a
Katie story, but I think my single favorite panel since the last time I checked in is this one:
Now
that's a paddlin'

! I'm sure Karen was deeply touched by Katie's concern for the Dan-O-Matic's welfare.
(By the way, everyone knows how to insert a picture into a post if that picture has already appeared somewhere else on this board, right? Just right-click on it to "copy image location," then use the "Img" button to generate the necessary BBC tags, and finally right-click and "PASTE" the address in between the two tags. In fact, this simple method will work with
any image you can find on the Internet.

)
Another thing we're never short of are panels in which a stinging backside is displayed. One fine example is this one:
I'm not sure if there's any good reason to favor this example over many others, but it is nice to have both stinging rear ends pointed in our direction

.
I think everyone wanted to see Karen get her just desserts, so it was satisfying to watch her getting a bare-bottom spanking from Mr. Argyle after she overheated the Dan-O-Matic (I might have gotten a little over-heated myself if I'd been the one to take the paddle to her

). "You wouldn't dare" are famous last words of foolish girls who thought they could get out of a well-deserved spanking by challenging a man.
Expressions: here's a good one of Katie's as the surveillance technician takes certain liberties when he's about to spank her:
He decides to "feel out the territory" as it were before beginning to spank. Sorry Katie, but that's a spanker's privilege, and if you don't like it than you shouldn't get yourself spanked in the first place

.
Great stuff, B00m, and I eagerly await the next chapter. I will go out on a limb and predict that Katie's going to get spanked again
