Sugar and Spike #33 (Feb-Mar 1961), cleaned up a bit from what I saw posted somewhere else. A belated Valentine’s Day post. Geez, I was a little less than a year old when this was on the racks. It bugs me (probably too much, actually) to see nice old comics covers and pages thrown up on the Net without even the slightest attempt to make them look better. I don’t think the nostalgia value of yellowed, dirty pages compensates for the ugliness of the visual.
