"Dreamy Daniel" was a strip from Sparky about a boy who would daydream about being on fantastic adventures while doing mundane tasks, the identity of which would be revealed as punchlines. It was drawn by Gordon Bell. The strip should not be confused with "Dreamy Dave and Dozy Dora", a somewhat similarly titled but quite different strip from the same publication, or with another "Dreamy Daniel", who appeared in Lot-O'-Fun from 1906 to the 1920s.
