Other children called him "Sparky" after a comic-strip horse named Sparkplug.

What is a comic-strip horse??

Thanks.

A horse in a comic strip. In this case, the comic strip was called "Barney Google and Snuffy Smith," and the horse, Spark Plug, was a broken-down old nag that was anything but a spark plug. The strip ran so long ago, I hate to admit I used to read it as a child.
