Sugar And Spike Get In A Jam

As talking babies tend to do...

...Sugar Plumm and Spike Wilson find themselves in a jam, on these two classic covers (Sugar & Spike #4 of October-November, 1956 and Sugar & Spike #22 of April-May, 1959) with art by strip creator, Sheldon Meyer.

Merry Christmas With Sugar And Spike

A Merry Christmas to one and all, and may Santa Claus have left you many a gift, as he surely did for talking babies Sugar Plumm and Spike Wilson in Sugar and Spike #56 (December-January, 1964/1965) by Sheldon Mayer....

...and check here to see them with their Christmas presents!

A Little Sugar And Spike

At one time, DC had a successful Digest line (smaller than normal comics, usually reprinting older comics, but occasionally having new stories).  This line was perfect for the creations of Sheldon Meyer, Sugar and Spike.

Sugar and Spike were two pre-speaking babies (Sugar Plumm and Cecil "Spike" Wilson) that could communicate via "baby talk" (a language only babies, not adults, could understand).  Meyer did 98 issues in the original run, and some of the fun were reprinted in the Best Of DC in the 1980s.

Best Of DC #29 (October, 1981)

This issue had reprints from Sugar and Spike #3, #56, #58, #92, #93, #97 and #98, as well as unpublished Sugar and Spike stories from the European market, and a Leave It To Binky story from #71, and a Stanley and the Monster story that would have been in Stanley and the Monster #113.

Best Of DC #41 (October, 1983)

This issue had reprints from Sugar and Spike #25, with the rest of the tales presented here from the European market, and unpublished in America until this issue came out.

Best Of DC #47 (April, 1984)

This issue had reprints from Sugar and Spike #1, #2, #9, #25, #27, #32, #52, #88, #89, #90, #91, #93 and #94, with no European only stories, and no other comedy additions, so it is all Sheldon Meyer goodness.

Best Of DC #58 (March, 1985)

This issue had reprints from Sugar and Spike #51, #68 and #95, which had a Christmas theme, as well as an all new story that didn't really connect to Sugar and Spike, with junior versions of the JLA members in a special story for the holidays.

Best Of DC #65 (October, 1985)

This issue had reprints from Sugar and Spike #37, #41, #46, #47, #48, #65, and #72, with all the excitement of Summer, as well as the first Bernie the Brain story.

Best Of DC #68 (January, 1986)

This issue had reprints from Sugar and Spike #3, #37, #40, #43, #48, #55, #61, #64 and #67, this time around with a Halloween twist, all tales from a simpler, happier time!

Happy Halloween With Sugar And Spike

A happy Halloween to one and all.  Here, for the end of the month, is the last issue of Sugar and Spike (Sugar & Spike #98 from October-November, 1971) by Sheldon Meyer, with a redrawing of a tale from Sugar & Spike #55 (reprinted in the issue), with Sugar Plumm and Spike Wilson having fun trick or treating on Halloween, but as pre-verbal babies do, not quite getting the festivities.

Sugar And Spike Want More Christmas

Sheldon Meyer writes and draws an issue full of Christmas adventures for Sugar Plumm and Cecil "Spike" Wilson in Sugar & Spike #38 (December-January, 1961/1962)...

...wherein the babies who can talk to each don't seem to understand yet that Christmas only comes once a year!


Merry Christmas!

Sugar And Spike Try To Understand Christmas

A little fun, as Sugar Plumm and Cecil "Spike" Wilson wander around indoors, discovering the traditions of Christmas as only babies that can talk to each other can.

Their creator, Sheldon Meyer, provided the cover to this Christmas issue, Sugar & Spike #26 (December-January, 1959/1960) with Christmas Trees and Stockings!

Sugar And Spike Surprise Santa

The delightful babies Sugar Plumm and Cecil "Spike" Wilson surprise Santa Claus in this cover by their creator, Sheldon Meyer, from Sugar & Spike #44 (December-January, 1962/1963).   

Oh the trouble these two talking babies can get into....they should try being nice, instead of naughty before Christmas!
