Time to retire my evil twin, frEEdyfly, and return to normal, with:
my last 5 Sparklers: #6 (damaged, chewed upper corners :( , but complete), and 17, 20, 22 & 23 - all missing a wrap.
And, all without everybody's favorite couple - Nancy & Tarzan, as usual.

I'm not going to add the post-SparkGuy issues since he was replaced by a non-PD strip - Lil Abner, so that means omitting 3 stories.
I might compile the Abbie&Slats stories (one of the reasons I collect the series).

There are a few later issues that have only one non-PD strip - Nancy.
I've upped 2 tonight - 88 & 89.
The only other stories other than one-pagers are Abbie & Slats and Captain & the Kids

Spakler 57 up'd tonight. It's the first with Li'l Abner (replaced Broncho Bill), so Three stories are deleted, but it's also the last appearance of The Spark Man - a reprint of an early Superhero-version story.

How great to see these Sparkler Comics gems again!  Shame about the necessary omissions due to the copyright restrictions, but the characters and strips remaining make for a hugely entertaining read.  Thank you very much freddyfly and Eddie73 for these greatly appreciated uploads!!  :)  More please, if and when possible that is!!  Cheers!  Melbee.

Great to see Casey Ruggles again. Warren Tufts wrote exciting, entertaining stories. His artwork was doggone good, too.

dang Freddy, Sparkler is the only section that has more than just a few books that has the same user uploading every single one.

it's mighty tempting to use my admin magic to change your screen name to Sparkyfly  ;D

I've been collecting & scanning them for a long time (and grabbing a bunch from dc++), but dcm didn't accept them and I didn't know CB+ did. I have a few more late (Casey) issues to pass on from dc++, but I'm finished after that until I buy more.
[disclaimer: I do have several issues in the post-Sparkie, pre-Casey period, but with 3 non-PD strips (Tarz,Abner,Nan), there isn't much left to upload here.]

Another UFS title you could add for me to upload to is Tip Top. The contents are similar to Sparkman except in his place it has Triple Terror and Mirror Man (from #54 to 119).

My last 4 Casey Ruggles Sparklers added (from dc++) - 101, 106, 110-1; Nancy-free as always, but with gluten & GMOs.

By the way, just in case I get into very-late Tip Top issues, I assume Peanuts is also non-PD

All up now. Many thanks! As for Peanuts, I certainly would have thought so!

Hey, gang...  nobody responded to my question about creating a sub-section for Tip Top Comics (United features), so I've upped two issues to the main section = #s 119 & 150

The nobody who did not reply was, I am ashamed to confess, me :(

However, I have now atoned for my sin and set up the series, plus I have moved United Features into the main comic book section.

Good going Mark. Glad to see USF in the main section. I have a few Tip Tops I can scan some time in the future (busy with my Smith Street Project <Thanks Narf!> and other CB+ related deeds. Love their quirky superheroes Mirror Man, Spark-Man, and the Triple Terror just to name a few.... thanks again,,,, any idea on the Miss Fury # 8 yet?

A Tip Top pair tonight:
#78 from dc++, and #108 from my overheated scanner. Abner & Nancie dumped as always (for both comics, Nan was on 5or6 half-pages so I removed only those halves,  leaving 5or6 Fritzie half-pages).

I noticed my upload yesterday of an upgraded Tip Top 119 hasn't yet been added. Is it ok?

Gee... I though you guys were there 1440 minutes a day just waiting for new uploads to be added instantly!

Meanwhile...
several more Tip Tops tonight, mostly my own old (or not-so-old) scans. The earlier ones have Tarzan and Abner stories deleted, but not Nancey since she hadn't yet gotten her own strip (but she appears in Fritzey).
