Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 14, 2019

You said it. Pray you were not heard.

Back in those days, in my small home town, a mom who was friends with yours and saw you doing something wrong would think nothing of spanking you in your mom’s place. She would then call your mom and tell her what you were up to, and there would be another spanking waiting when you got home. And nobody turned a hair, and we all turned out to be decent, law-abiding adults.

Nothing to smile about, CB! :D

My how times have changed. Now, the writer would be spanked (arrested) for a strip like this.

Last time I got spanked, I honestly did not do it. When I got myself under control enough to speak, I told Dad so. “Well,” he said. “You probably deserved that for something.” I accepted that!

Mom had a belt. We were terrified of the belt. I think it might have lost some of its effect had she actually hit us with it and we discovered that it could be survived. “Do I have to get my belt?” We stopped EVERYTHING we were doing!

That was in the good old days.

Did Patty get spanked for hitting you with her purse?

Explains all the adult spanking fetishists.

Sure is a dated strip today. Nowdays the parent would be arrested for letting the child out alone in the front yard.

Those were the days, I had multiple “moms,” but at the same time, I had dozens of hoses I could drink from, or better classes of milk, cookies, or fruit when I flashed a smile.
