Yesterday, some posters commented on Sparke Plenty who some will recall, got married to Junior in the Max Collins era. Seems Kilian and Locher had her in on one occasion only (since 1992), when their daughter,(newly created character) - “Jewel” was kidnapped by a child molester. Sparkle was seen in late October and on Dec.15, 2002. She looked normal then !
It all looked a little rediculous not seeing Junior’s daughter ”Honeymoon” anywhere and then the awkwardness of seeing Sparkle married to Dick Locher’s son “John”, who I call the “new” Junior after a sort of nepotistc design change was made.
Those who have access to the Archives (which go back to year 2000), can read the tale.
Unfortunately, the team of Kilian and Locher “forgot” to name the rogue. A “minor” detail that eluded them 4 times in their partnership with a fifth one added on in a panel at the end.
Locher has a disconcerting habit of omiting characters that “ought” to be there. Like Joe Tracy (renamed Cool Dude) being at home at anytime during Tess’ perfume story (?) or when Bonnie brought home those Circus Tickets ?
Yet, last Christmas “New Junior” (only), was depicted with Dick and Tess for that “family” occasion !
