Rather than doing the series of guest appearances at Scream
Inn in one go, I though it would be more fun to add some variety and
start a concurrent gallery of those bright and busy SPARKY Moonsters covers by Bill

the strip was moved from the back page to the front and marked the beginning of
the spectacular run of 105 covers:
Come back soon for the second guest appearance at Scream
Inn. In fact, it was guest appearance of Scream Inn in a strip from
a sister title that made a guest appearance in Shiver and Shake. Am I making sense here? :)
Ah, happy days. Takes me right back. It's a shame there are no comics like Sparky around any more. (With the exception of The Beano of course.) Thanks Irmy.
