This last ever Sparky book before it joined Topper book the next year...this had lots of reprints...But very welcome to see... there was one new element and is throughout the book Brainless. He is even on the cover drawn by John Geering.
This character who was never in the comic of Sparky which ended in 1977 is brand new for this book. He has the look of Frank Spencer about him! I love this character as a kid and used to draw my own cartoon version of a cowboy with sleeves too long and hat large covering his eyes.
Quite a strong joke if you take it too serious today..
The beginning and end papers of the book.
love the background character John has drawn...

Huh, never knew he was only ever in that one annual! He obviously made an impression on folk, as he's in Classics From The Comics a few times as well.
i wonder if you mixed it up with another character as a guess...
maybe the Sparky's Spoofer and his friend who wears a duffle coat and is silly..
Nope, definitely Brainless.
This one has him in a watch shop, the salesman informs him a watch will go for six months without winding, to which Brainless replies:
"Well how long will it go if I DO wind it???"
Yes it is one that's in the book as well...
