Weekly Wonderous Moment In Comics #53

Back for more Sugar & Spike goodness. In issue 82, Bernie the Brain invents a time ray that allows folks to travel back and forth in time. Well, this story involves Sugar & Spike & Bernie from 1969 as well as Sugar & Spike & Bernie from 1986! At one point in the story, Sugar & Spike end up getting transported to 1986 but find that future Bernie is knocked out and future Sugar & Spike are being abducted by bad guys.

Sugar tries to help, but being a baby can't do anything. Spike comes through with a most ingenious use of time travel that I have ever seen.
In case you missed it, here is the explanation of what has just happened by future Bernie.. and note the Spike with the rolling pin on the bad guy's collar!
The only thing that has come close to this is the novel The Man Who Folded Himself.

Weekly Wonderous Moment In Comics #52

The Future is Yesterday!!!

Yup, I love the future in the old comics, especially when we've been there/done that and we don't have what they promised back in the day. From Sugar & Spike #82, Apr-May 1969, Sugar, Spike, and Bernie the Brain get a visit from Bernie the Brain from 1986!! He relates a tale of what happened to Sugar & Spike when they are teen-agers. What is the world like in 1986??

Well, there are flying cars....

Fashion had taken a weird turn with capes & sombreros...

but the fashion is easily explained by future Bernie...

Flying cars? Wish they were here. Capes & sombreros? uh, not so much.
