 Filled with humour (mostly puns and misunderstandings), adventure, movie references, and some slight eroticism with the promiscuous teenage daughter Fanny, the comic became an instant success.The first story was serialized in the newspaper starting on 15 February 1977 and continues almost uninterrupted, although the comic has switched from "Het Laatste Nieuws" to "Gazet van Antwerpen".With more than 100 albums, the Kiekeboe series is one of the three most successful Flemish comics and sells over 100,000 copies with each new album and 1 million albums per year in total.
