Appealling, wholesome, and [usually] well-meaning, the strip may have been a bit less intruiging than Ritchie's previous MOONSTERS offerings, however the layout and presentation of this coverstrip boded well with the bright-outlook of SPARKY during this period, and the lightly-slapstick capers and domestic cavortings still look pleasing and readable today. The strip often finished off with a large 'punch-line' frame, illustrating the play-on-words or ironic outcome of that week's particular episode.
