John Martin did this very attractive scene - we're not sure of the medium he used - of
The Joker once again taking his girl friend Harley Quinn over his knee, probably
as a commission. It turned up for sale a while back and that's how we caught up with it.
It's very well rendered and both characters have unmistakable expressions on their faces; Harley
a wide-eyed innocence and The Joker a maniacal glee as if he really enjoys whacking her behind.
Harley's pistol, which normally functions as a kind of grenade launcher (this may have been to
avoid having her commit any replicable act such as firing an ordinary handgun for the children
watching Batman: The Animated Series to see), here emits only a flag saying "Spank!"
rather than "Bang!" which is a nice touch, as are the hearts in front of Harley and the stars to
her rear. She's a very happy girl when her man spanks her!
