Every now and then in a `fun` comic comes a concept so bizarre you wonder just what the writers were up to to dream up such incredible `mind-bending ` presentations to amazed young readership! One such, was "Granny Cupp and her "Flying Saucer" which graced SPARKY comic for two short seasons in the summers of 1966 and 1967! ' '`Granny` also made the `Sparky` book 1970. The artist is unknown to me and wasn't perhaps the most detailed in his/her depictions, but the strip possessed a quaint charm which warmed me to it!' ' '

One such, was "Granny Cupp and her "Flying Saucer" which graced SPARKY comic for two short seasons in the summers of 1966 and 1967! 'Making a return flight in the summer of 1967, issue 132, 29th July (replacing the `Cave Kids`) was old `Granny Cupp and her Flying Saucer` with eight episodes, to issue 139, of utterly surrealistic flights of fancy. Quite the weirdest adventure came when Granny accidentally thwarted an attempted South American junta! I can’t give justice to it in words; it has to be seen to be believed. Other adventures featured rescuing a stranded US space mission and a trip to the Himalayas (To rescue a trapped mountaineer) where Granny encountered a very strange looking `Abominable Snowman`. The strip ended with Granny stuck fast in piping after causing utter havoc on a sea rescue mission! Sadly, she never returned for a `Third Trip, Man!"' ' '`Granny` also made the `Sparky` book 1970.
