New year with changing times

We're officially into the New Year now and one starts to tidy away presents if not like my proper grey three-quarter length socks actually wear them although today it's only 3 degrees C so I have my thick track pants on rather than shorts.
One thing I have been doing is reading old annuals  not least comic ones and these's a kind of storyline in them you don't see in today's versions.

No that's from November 22nd 1952 which I might is before I was born but it's a comic strip where wrong doing gets swift punishment - whacked with Biffo's skipping rope but this kind of ending was common place when I was (allegedly) growing up and actually in the 1975 Beano annual I did have this year there were a few like Rodger the Dodger getting a spanking.
That may seem incomprehensible to a modern child which may be a reason why it doesn't feature - it could alarm some - in the way that for us it was everyday life wherever adults ruled so it was seen as normal if unpleasant. 
lt is an indicator of how over time society changes.
