Wow, a vast improvement in the art compared to the dreadful first issue of this series. The main characters nicely resemble their TV origins both in character and performer. Actually a pleasure to read despite the limitations of story, but that’s to be expected given the source material. I loved the TV show as a kid, but watching it now, not so much. Despite the excellence of all the actors, the stories too often resort to I LOVE LUCY levels of ridiculousness, like a character not being recognized by others because he’s wearing a funny hat. Still though, extended scenes with Joe Flynn and Tim Conway together are pure comedy genius, as is their theatrical film, McHALE’S NAVY JOINS THE AIR FORCE. Anyway, the comic is readable on a lazy ass day. But someone really should tell Commander McHale to skip those Hershey bars as he’s really got some bad acne in this story.

Well the inker here is Vince Colletta who has softened the work and made it more acceptable, but the artist is still clearly copying faces from stills. Which is why, characters are having conversations but not looking at each other. Middle panel page 2 for example, Bingham is blowing his top but looking into the distance, not engaging with McHale. McHale has no eyes, and why is he not clean-shaven? But, you are right, the script is good and the scripter may have been working from one supplied from the show. All in all, I would show these McHale's to a beginner as examples of what not to do! Thanks for pointing them our. Fascinating!
