It's called `Clopaxil` After my `dose` I am out of it for about three days! I have to have it as I have a chemical imbalance caused by severe Myxoedema some years ago! You get used to it!

Regards the `Sparky File` I am very glad it has helped anyone seek out old Sparky's! My main reason for doing it. I wanted to highlight certain strips in the comic that I hoped might get anyone reading it thinking...say, "H,mm! That sounds intriguing, might look it up"

I certainly regard the Sparky comic as a source of some very entertaining strips, but it is hardly known about in comparison to Beano, Dandy, or Topper and Beezer! I wanted to give Sparky comic a bit of publicity!

Interesting...this comic ended in 1963 yet by your photo,Annuals were still being produced up to 1973.Wonder if the content in the Annuals was still old school 1950s style or did they modernise the content to some extent?

I won the three 1965 `Sparky's` though I did get beat on 139! My old copy will suffice for now!

Love those Beezer annuals, most of them have a real charm about them.
