Well, that was unexpected!
I'm certainly not disturbed by the double standard at S.P.A.N.K. and I doubt anyone else here is either - besides, as B00m noted, it's in favor of the girls - but the sudden termination of Agent Burns does raise some artistic questions. I don't think we can answer them just yet, though.
In general, how violent, how serious, can a humor strip be?
Li'l Abner offers some clues:
Fearless Fosdick often suffered so many bullets being shot through him he looked like swiss cheese afterward, but the effect was extremely comical because he continued on in typical block-headed fashion, undisturbed by what should have been fatal injuries. But Burns' termination doesn't fall into that category even though the scene was depicted without any excessive gore (unlike, say, pre-code crime comics).
Neither does it appear to be satire, which was frequently biting in
Abner where the demise of the Shmoo, for example, was anything but comical. And could
Katie support that kind of satire?
It would be a mistake to leap to any conclusions here. For one thing, we don't know yet if Burns' death is real or some sort of hoax designed to induce Katie to take on a mission that would no doubt result in her getting spanked! We're going to have to wait patiently without preconceptions and let this story develop.
I'm not sure if putting a cold-blooded murder in an otherwiise light-hearted comic was a good idea or not. My intention was to show that, as Katie suspected, Mr. Argyle
DOES have a double standard for dealing with male and female subordinates... but MAYBE... the ladies are getting the more favorable treatment!
Also, I didn't think anyone would miss Agent Burns if I got rid of him. Apparently Solsunbeach thinks killing him off was a TERRIBLE idea. So maybe, I'll have to come up with a story in which the whole thing was staged, and he's alive and well on a super-secret mission. I think I'll leave that storyline in limbo for now, and deal with other topics.
Katie is getting ready to have a Thanksgiving dinner at home with Bullmoose.

Time for Bullmoose to visit another employer and throw a few punches?
In this instance, I think he'd bo more likely to invoke the "Spanked-at-Work=Spanked-at-Home" rule.

Katie has been spanked by more than one ghost.
That's true.

We do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia because it has nothing to do with us. Enjoy your dinner.

Yeah. Thanksgiving Day seems to be mostly a North American thing. And Canada celebrates on a different day than the U.S. I think it may have been inspired by harvest festivals that were sometimes held in parts of Europe.
The Pilgrims were an odd bunch, and they were the ones who originated most of America's Thanksgiving customs. Sometimes they showed respect for the Native population, and paid for whatever land they used. Other times they would slaughter whole tribes and justify it on religious grounds.
Anyway, Katie and Bullmoose live in the U.S. and celebrate Thanksgiving Day in November. And for the two of them, any day can be "SPANKS-giving" day.
