 26Pigs.com : UK Comics : Sparky
When Sparky began in 1965 it was clearly aimed at a slightly younger readership than Beano and Dandy (but not as young as "Bimbo", D.C. Thomson's pre-school comic of the time).
Gone were the more fey strips, (and the Sparky strip thankfully) and in came slang phrases, occasional experimental layouts, and crazy goon-like strips such as "Sparky People", "L-Cars" and "Spoofer McGraw", not forgetting the stylistic comedy-adventure spoof, "I-Spy".

Sparky's superheroic adventures were all in fun, which meant they could be even sillier and more improbable than those of the "straight" superheroes.

 Salon | Sparky vs. Dogbert
In one corner, we have the cartoonist Tom Tomorrow, a political satirist whose comic strip "This Modern World" appears regularly in about a hundred newspapers, mostly alternative weeklies.
(For a time, Sparky found himself replaced by a temp — Wilbur the Talking Stomach — but he's recently returned.) Both Adams and Tomorrow have watched their careers take off in recent years.
Tomorrow alleges that, despite Adams' critique of stupid bosses and management fads, "Dilbert's" creator is "on the side of the ruling class." In next week's "This Modern World," Tomorrow picks a fight with his fellow cartoonist, accusing Adams of betraying the "millions of insecure and beleaguered office workers" who consider him their champion.

 reveries.com > marketing insights + ideas » Blog Archive » Sparky Schulz
“Sparky used to say there will always be a market for innocence,” says Jeannie Schulz, widow of Charles Schulz, creator of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts comic strip gang, reports Bill Nichols in USA Today.
And it worked because of the same “quirky genius” that made the Peanuts comic strip, snoopy.com, work– it mixed a serious message with a “sardonic, even hip, sense of humor.” While Linus was reciting from the Bible, Sparky had Charlie’s little sister, Sally, asking for tens and twenties in her letter to Santa.
And when Charlie asks his friend, Lucy, what she really wants, she replies: “Real estate.” Sparky also trusted that viewers would know when to laugh without the help of a laugh track and Lee Mendelson had the good sense to go for authenticity by hiring mostly kids under 10 who had no acting experience.
