Sugar & Spike #77

Sugar and Spike stare up in bewilderment at a room that's been turned completely upside down — furniture on the ceiling, a door swinging open overhead, and a mysterious green smoke drifting through — all thanks to the mischievous mastermind teased by the cover copy: Bernie the Brain. Sheldon Mayer's cheerful linework captures the duo's wide-eyed confusion perfectly, with question-mark speech bubbles and a playful riddle ("When is the whole world upside-down? When Bernie the Brain is running it!") setting a wonderfully absurdist tone. This 1968 DC gem is a charming showcase of Mayer's gift for kid-friendly comedy with just enough chaos to keep things delightfully unpredictable.
