GUEST APPEARANCES AT SCREAM INN – TOY BOY




Whoopee’s own favorite Toy Boy visited Scream Inn in Whoopee! issue cover-dated August 28th, 1976. As always, two pages of Scream Inn by the ever-excellent Brian Walker are followed by the episode of Toy Boy from that same issue. The artist is of course Terry Bave.

Now there’s only one installment of this series left in the pipeline. Can you guess who the star-guest might be? :) 

Blogger is still treating me poorly because the list of my favourite blogs that used to show on the right-hand side of this page is still missing and I have no idea how to restore it. I tried doing it manually but it still didn’t work. I find it quite annoying as I can’t conveniently visit my friends’ sites whenever I check in here. Any ideas how to fix this??

GUEST APPEARANCES AT SCREAM INN – BUMPKIN BILLIONAIRES




The filthy-rich Bumpkin Billionaires were among the least-likely candidates to show up at Scream Inn in hope to win a million. On the contrary – they worked hard every week devising crazy schemes to get rid of some of their enormous wealth they had won in the lottery in the first issue of WHOOPEE!

Nonetheless, they did appear in Scream Inn strip, but in the capacity of finance providers rather than guests of the haunted inn!

The comedy of Bumpkin Billionaires was that the family’s efforts to waste money inevitably backfired, making them even wealthier than before. That week they had to endure two disappointments – one in Scream Inn, illustrated by Brian Walker, and one in their own strip, illustrated by Mike Lacey. Both episodes are from Whoopee! issue No. 124 cover-dated 7th August, 1976. Enjoy!

THE MOONSTERS COVERS OF SPARKY - PART TEN



Here’s the 10th installment of SPARKY Moonsters front covers gallery. I still think they were the best :) 

Off-topic: in case you are curious (or annoyed) about the disappearance of the list of my favorite sites and blogs that used to show in the column on the right-hand side – I have no idea why this happened, or how to restore the list. I’ve read on the web that other people are experiencing the problem too, and that Blogger engineers are working to fix it, so I hope the list starts showing up again soon :)
