Little Iodine

Popular American cartoon strip made into 'real life' comedy in 1946.

From 1943 to 1966, Little Iodine was written and drawn by Hatlo, who said, "I tried to make her the embodiment of all the brats I knew... I tried to make her naughty as hell—and still likable." Hatlo's definition of 'naughty as hell' often amounted to little more than high spirits or even well-intentioned errors of a trivial kind, such as Iodine attempting to save her grumpy Dad from getting the sack only to inadvertently appear more competent than he (not difficult). Whatever the 'brattish misdeed', the end result was unfailingly the same, a sound spanking on the worn seat of Little Iodine's bloomers! For twenty-three years she must have been the most frequently spanked little girl in the US newspapers.

This is reportedly a lost film. Unless boogie67 is in his or her 80s and has a phenomenal memory or has access to an undiscovered 16mm print, this is not a valid review.
