Sorry for not posting last weekend, I have been very busy with work. Today things get a little interesting. We have a “long” sheet of the “Richie in pain” stickers we saw on the first of the long sheets, but with a different hanger. Gone are the part number, copyright date and Harvey Comics as the copyright holder. Also gone are any Harvey images, instead we have what appears to be two cherubs grabbing their stuffed animals and flying away as fast as they can from an amorous circus elephant. A last detail to note is that the lower sticker of Dollar the Dog is missing his dollar signs!

I cannot be sure what happened to explain this variant. Assuming someone did not put a new hanger on an old sheet of stickers, my best guess is that Harvey issued some sort of cease and desist order to the sticker manufacturer after 1980, and this is how the manufacturer used up sticker stock they had already produced.
