MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1976*. Stopped in 1978 after 21 issues, but continued under another publisher until 1987.

This Swedish humour series features the American slapstick duo Helan & Halvan (known as Laurel and Hardy in English). Despite good intentions they inadvertently manage to fumble around destroying elements and relationships in their wake. 

* The series was first published as a comic book series in 1963.
