Did George Parlett draw this strip?
Yes.
Annual appearances were 1972 -1975. Summer Special appearances also in 1971 and 1973.
Thank you. Did the strip appear in the regular comic?
Yes, I believe it did, and I remember reading somewhere that it ran sometime during 1970, which is consistent with the dates of the Annual/Special stories. George Parlett did quite a lot for Bunty around that time – he did “A Bed Called Fred” and “Sally on the Spot”, both of which were running in March 1970. However Lydia isn’t in any of the half dozen Buntys which I have for that year, so I can’t be more precise about the date.
Sally on the Spot? I don’t think we have that one here. Can you provide details please?
‘Sally On The Spot’ ran in BUNTY 624 (December 27 1969) – 635 (March 14 1970).
Sally was also in the 1971, 1973, 1974 and 1975 Annuals and the 1970 Special. Here’s an extract from Bunty #635 which perhaps may be of use as an illustration in the story entry:

Sorry, if you’re going to do an entry on the series, you might also like to know what the series is about! Here’s the introductory text, which probably says all that’s needed:
“Sally Jones was a girl who liked to know what was going on. Her curiosity often landed her right on the spot where interesting events were taking place.”
The brief serial ‘Lydia And The Little People’ ran in BUNTY 661 (September 12 1970) – 667 (October 24 1970).
Funny it only had a few episodes but scored annual and summer special appearances. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info about Sally, guys.
