Few cartoonists before or since knew funny like Sheldon Mayer, and no one understood children any better. In Sugar & Spike, we move in a baby’s world with fresh perspective. Mayer didn't portray innocent cherubs, however. His world of babies is no less jaded and scheming than the world of the adults; it’s just less experienced. That's the cool, funny part - all done so breezy, easy. Mayer makes brilliant feel like a graceful afterthought. This is from Sugar & Spike No. 89, April-May 1970. Mayer did the cover as well
