I love the television show, but I never realized that there was a comic based on it. Thank you for the post.

Not bad, but the humor could have been better. Plus, the cartoonist made both Kay and Carol look too attractive for their own good; at times, Carol looks like Brenda Starr, while on one page she looks like the late Florence Henderson! And as for Wilbur, he looks like Jackie Martling from the Howard Stern Show in a couple of pages!

Oh, look, another TV series, that was also very successful in Germany, but not all episodes of which were shown on German TV. For many Germans, the words "A horse is a horse of course of course" were the first English words, they spoke and understood, hahaha. :-) The human leading actor, Alan Young, also played a role in the film "The Time Machine" (1960) and this is one of my favorite films.
