	Sheldon Mayer
		Sheldon Mayer (April 1, 1917 - December 21, 1991) was an American comic book writer and artist.
		After Mayer retired from editing in 1949, he began to write and draw a number of humour comics for National, including the feature "The Three Mouseketeers" and most notably the long-lasting Sugar and Spike, the adventures of two babies who could communicate in baby-talk that adults could not understand.
		Mayer signed the stories he drew, something rare at National Periodical Publications in the late 1950s when Sugar and Spike debuted.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Scribbly the Boy Cartoonist
		Scribbly the Boy Cartoonist was created by Sheldon Mayer, also a boy cartoonist.
		When he had a spare page or two, Mayer would insert a cartoon of his own, designed to look like the other Sunday pages, recounting the hilarious adventures of his fictional colleague.
		Beginning to end, Mayer both wrote and drew every Scribbly story — quite understandable, considering they were, to a certain extent, autobiographical (even Ma Hunkel was based on a real person).

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Sheldon Mayer
		Mayer was born on April 1, 1917, and was doing various small jobs in cartooning while still in his teens.
		By far, the most successful of these early Mayer creations was the semi-autobiographical Scribbly the Boy Cartoonist, which Gaines himself is known to have been a fan of.
		In the fifth issue (Summer, 1945), The Three Mouseketeers, Bulldog Drumhead, McSnurtle the Turtle and all the other features were written and drawn by Sheldon Mayer, making it, by most accounts, the most desirable issue of that title from the point of view of a modern collector.

		Anticipating that the novelty, and thus the appeal, of recycled newspaper comics would be short-lived, Gaines was ever on the lookout for something new, and he wasn't alone.
		(Sheldon Mayer's Red Tornado, a feisty, female crimefighter not to be confused with the later, more popular male superhero of the same name, was the first ever female comic-book superhero, but never gained a large following.) Other female superheroes read by both boys and girls would follow--Black Canary, Liberty Belle, Phantom Lady.
		After having served as midwife to the first comic book, the first superhero, the first superhero group, and the first major female crime-fighter, Gaines decided it was time to move the genre in a new direction--ethical education.

		By 1944 Max had grown tired of his arrangement with DC and opted for a buy-out, selling his part of the business, paper contracts and all, for a sum in excess of half a million dollars.
		Mayer wasn't impressed with Nodell's art, but "What he did have, crude as he was apt to be in his drawing, was an effective first page.
		Still, DC was looking for new material and Mayer fortunately changed his mind, bringing in writer Bill (Batman) Finger to flesh out the character.

		Sheldon Mayer practically invented comic books as we now know them in the thirties, first as a cartoonist, then as an editor.
		Sheldon Mayer continued working in comics until his death in the late eighties, doing short 'Sugar and Spike' stories for overseas publication, writing for the DC mystery comics and creating 'The Black Orchid' for Adventure Comics in the late seventies.
		All of the issues in the long running 'Sugar and Spike' series are clever and stylish stories that are a lot of fun to read, but the later issues (69-98) are among my favorites.

		One of All-American Comics original editors -- the company merged with National Comics to eventually become DC Comics -- the great Sheldon Mayer remains one of the most talented cartoonists/creators ever to work in the comic book field.
		(Mayer repackaged and, reformatted these for publication and sneaked in his feature when the comics would come up a page or two short.) Later, the “Scribbly” strip began appearing in ALL-AMERICAN COMICS, starting with its first issue dated April, 1939.
		Fortunately for Scribbly, he has a girlfriend his own age, the worshipful Clover Cooley (who is also ardently pursued by a muscular jock named Bentley.) “Scribbly” also occasionally appeared as a back-up feature in the pages of National’s BUZZY and LEAVE IT TO BINKY.

		* Sheldon Mayer, as the editorial mastermind behind the All-American Comics line, was largely responsible for giving the green light to such classic Golden Age series as WONDER WOMAN, FLASH COMICS, GREEN LANTERN and ALL-STAR COMICS (he also gave the thumbs-up to an oft-rejected project called Superman).
		As a comic book creator himself, though, Mayer found his niche first on the Scribbly feature, the BINKY teen humor title and a number of funny animal series, but most notably, on SUGAR AND SPIKE, one of the best-loved humor titles of all time.
		Nominations were specifically solicited for creators of genre-defining comic book characters, with voters focusing on creators whose best-known work appeared during the Golden Age and up to the start of the Silver Age (encompassing the years 1938-1956).
