THE `SPARKY `QUIZ`
As part of the comic’s `Silver` jubilee this year on this site- I am presenting this `Sparky` quiz! It consists of Twelve questions (I chose Twelve because it is the number of years the comic existed). They are in varying degrees of difficulty, but not in order of difficulty e.g hardest to easiest 1 – 12. No! They come as presented with 5, 10, 15 and 20 points indicated in brackets after each question. One question at least has a supplementary bonus of an extra 10 points though! The Twelve questions won’t represent each year of the comic’s life as that restricts my choice of question!
Here we go!
(1) In which strip was the famous Sparky word “Nirdle” first uttered? (15 points)
(2) Who was the only character from the first issue, to still be in the comic when it ended? (5 points)
(3) “I. Spy”; who were his two most formidable opponents? (5 points per `villain` named)
(4) How many issues of `Sparky` were there? (5 points)
(5) What was the comics longest running `adventure` strip- though it was `light` hearted in tone? (10 points)
(6) Which strip was unique in the comics life in that it began in the style of a one page `fun` strip; but the rest of its time in the comic (late 1970 to early 1971) was in the format of a two page `adventure` strip? (20 points)
(7) Peter and Penny - Who? The surname please of the brother and sister stranded on the moon along with the `Moonsers` (20 points).
(8) Name `All` the staff of the `Sparky People` strip. 5 points per character with 10 points for the one occasional character who later got their own strip! (total 50 points!)
(9) What was `Captain Cutler and his Butler` in search of? (10 points)
(10) Which larger than life character only uttered just the word “Geesachup” (20 points) and what did it mean? (10 points)
