Josh Johnson

Josh Johnson is a character from Lurking Dragon's stories and is father to Melody Johnson, and a Parent. He is a Spanko of long standing,

Personality
As is discussed under Morality play it is typical for the relationship between Penitatas and parent to be extremely dissonant, Melody's relationship with Josh, is no exception.

He's generally a very stern man, especially at first, and does openly enjoy spanking Melody, Melody's Xmas

However, he develops, or perhaps more accurately, reveals, a softer aspect as the series goes on.

Rather then disbelieving her or thinking she was lying about the tampering with her cane, he files a complaint, leading to the conviction of James Plattsburgh

He also periodically when things turned worse for Melody, took the most lenient course his job would allow him to, making a point of filing a report on her services as a translator, for Ellen.

It is uncertain if this was Lurking dragons original intent, or if he simply felt things going in that direction as the characters developed.

History
It never makes any explicit statement in the series what he did for a living or how he met Mary

It does however make clear that His and Mary's marriage has lasted over a century, and that presumably they've been remarried several times.

his original childhood, and how he came to become a spanko is unknown.
