John Geering's Sparky comic title panels for Puss and Boots




Title panels give you a chance to try different things with your characters...seeing them as different objects for example is funny to see..











They also make nice posters..

Senator cartoon

Albert Holroyd black humour title panels for Thingummy Blob

From Sparky in the later years..mid 70's.



It is almost worse the act the proffessor is doing...he looks very innocent and cute..
These do remind me of Mad magazine.







Great cross hatching penwork Albert has...makes the object different to each other and more solid.

Das Leben ist bunt! Ich wünsche Euch allen einen erfolgreichen Tag. Lasst Euch von diesem Wetter nicht die Laune verderben.

The Sparky People title panels with the office cat!


The later years of Sparky comic sure did take the title panels seriously and were often different each week.


The Sparky People used the office cat in the titles or on the top of the page...normally reporting on this weeks story. Also the lettering was different each time.







Employment cartoon

Halloween

Bill Hill's L Cars title panels in Sparky.

This is the classic title panel of L Cars..


From 1973 onwards the title panels became really good fun and different each week...

















I was going to do a blog post on Sparky comic logos..But I was so impressed with the L Cars one it seemed a good idea to highlight it...just love it..

Having a unique title gave you extra fun.

FAIL


So the Pope starts working on a large door to allow for truckloads of Anglicans to come on in. Welcome, welcome, welcome. But whenever conversion talk starts going on, Cardinal Kasper always seems to be ashamed that conversions take place.

He says : “We are not fishing in the Anglican lake; proselytism is not the policy of the Catholic Church.

Well, it certainly seemed to be the policy of Our Lord. Something about "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (for the politically sensitive, that includes women)

If Cardinal Kasper is head of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, how exactly does he expect "unity" if not by conversion? And why does he seem so ashamed of the Faith of which he's a Authorized Representative?
