I would like to thank Dan for alerting me to the correct spelling of the character name and to add by Dan Rivera. I always liked this comic and there seems to be agreement based on the number of page views for the last strip. This strip is from Spank Hard Number 9 and is an homage to my favorite book and movie The Maltese Falcon “the stuff dreams are made of”.
When I was trying to name my blog I considered several possibilities. The ups and downs of an irritated lifelong spankophile seemed a bit wordy. I thought that Cranky Spanker summed it up nicely and since it was not being used considered it original. However when I was scanning the above comic I turned the page I found this.

I wasn’t the only one to think that this was a good title. |
Ha! You're still the “original” Cranky Spanker to me, Emanuele. 🙂
