The Spanko Kook At The Orgy
Most of my readers, I think, would count themselves lucky to have gotten a spanko girl over their laps, but in this Bill Wenzel spanking cartoon from (it must be) the 1960s, the fellow is bemoaning the fact that he’s stuck with the only girl at the orgy who still has her panties on:

I discovered this one a few years ago, and it is indeed from the late 60’s or (more likely) the early 70’s. I have tracked down three publication dates: 11/73 Popular Jokes, 11/77 Popular Jokes, and 2/80 Fun House. The fashions are a dead giveaway that it didn’t come from the 50’s, and Wenzel’s style is even more loose than it had been back then. I like your explanation of the caption; I never could figure out what Wenzel or the editor was getting at.
Now this was past Humorama’s classic period (1955-60) from which all their familiar spanking cartoons originated. In 1961 things suddenly changed, and Humorama went mostly reprint. The spanking cartoons some of us encountered in the 60’s and 70’s were mostly reprinted from that classic era. Recently I discovered that Bill Ward did at least two new ones during the 60’s for Humorama (he seems to be the only artist who supplied them with new material during most of that decade) and that Wenzel rejoined later and did approximately six more “spankers” himself, plus a lot of vanilla stuff.
This could have been as early as the late sixties, but on the basis of what we have so far I’d say Wenzel’s return to Humorama came around 1972 as the last of the digests ended. Unfortunately, it didn’t last too long and Humorama went back to being almost completely reprint (and on crappy plastic printing plates) during its last years. Only Ward still sold them an occasional cartoon on a regular basis, but some Wenzel-imitator did a few “spankers” near the end good copies of which I have been unable to secure.
