Sunday Funnies: The Courtship of Eddie's Father

Li'l Groove dug The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Not the movie (which I wouldn't see until I was a dad, m'self) but the TV show (1969-1972) that starred Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz. I loved the little talks they'd have as they'd walk along the beach at the beginning of the show. Bixby was cool and Cruz seemed like he'd be a fun kid to hang out with. Kind of a hipper, more modern Andy and Opie Taylor relationship. So naturally, when Dell produced a comicbook version of the show, I snatched it off the spinner-rack.

I'm not sure who wrote this short-lived (two issues) mag, but I'm pretty sure that it was drawn by Jack Sparling. If it's not Sparling, it's someone who does a pretty fair imitation. The stories are cute and the characters are pretty much in character (as well as I can remember--haven't seen the show for decades). Here's a sample from ish #1 (October 1969), "Kidstuff"!
