In 2007, the inventors, Danielle Batchelor and Cookie Centracco created the only product that covers the standard restaurant style high chair and extends onto the table like a place mat to prevent food and toys from falling to the floor. The product was also designed to provide a germ barrier by covering every thing within baby's reach such as the high chair itself and table surfaces. It will function with some home high chair models as well. The Neatnik Saucer consists of a waterproof tray portion attached to a seat portion, with a flexible rim to catch spills and food.

In the field of particle physics, "shmoo" refers to a high energy survey instrument, as used at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to capture subatomic cosmic ray particles emitted from the Cygnus X-3 constellation. Capp also had a knack for popularizing certain uncommon terms, such as druthers, schmooze, and nogoodnik, neatnik, etc. In his book The American Language, H.L. Mencken credits the postwar mania for adding "-nik" to the ends of adjectives to create nouns as beginning—not with beatnik or Sputnik—but earlier, in the pages of Li'l Abner. Al Capp's life and career are the subjects of a new life-sized mural commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth. Created by resident artist Jon P. Mooers, the mural was unveiled in downtown Amesbury on May 15, 2010.
