I Got Spanked As a Kid

Along with most of my friends I was spanked as a kid. It's funny but it never occured to us to question the right of our parents to spank us. I think part of the reason was that we all read comics like the Beano and the Topper in which there were naughty children like Dennis the Menace and Beryl the Peril who often ended up being spanked with a slipper usually by dad. Many of the comics were produced in Scotland which was very much pro-CP in those days. We thought it funny to see spanking in comics. Not nearly so funny when it happened to you!

@jennypenny It might of been the Comicbook Code or its UK equivalent that set how things could be depicted in childrens comics. I suspect that's why it was always show 'over clothing' although we all knew different.

@CatFan10 It was a comic book code. If you look carefully at some of the cartoons from the 1950's the child being spanked is either fully clothed or in their underwear. I have seen several depictions of kids in their underwear over a lap being spanked.

I can well remember the episodes where Dennis got the "Demon Slipper" or Minnie The Minx got an otk handspanking in the Beano. It was just a regular part of childhood life back then as was the tossed back board rubber.
