Sparky Watts #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSparky Watts shrinks to bug-size and enters Bug-Land without permission, where the insect inhabitants force him to shine their shoes as punishment. A monkey named Chip pesters a man trying to eliminate fleas using sanitary powder and newspaper, then brags about his appearance in comics before the man burns the newspaper and the fleas to finish them off. In a separate storyline, Peg-Leg the Parson attempts to marry two red creatures in Bug-Land, with one promising to obey the other despite having only two eyes and feet. Sparky later helps a zoo superintendent donate a monkey to the zoo and works with a doctor on a "truth-ray" invention designed to help police solve crimes by detecting lies.
In "null," Slap Happy’s day takes a wild turn when a mysterious monkey arrives in the mail—just as the last of Sparky’s cosmic rays fade, leaving Slap Happy shrunken and tangled in the monkey’s fur. The absurd chaos unfolds as the tiny hero struggles to untangle himself from the primate’s antics, all while the universe seems to be running on a very odd, very funny reset.
