1971, Belgian Comics: Bessy, De drie vlechten

In 1971, the 85th Bessy album, "De drie vlechten" ("The Three Braids"), was published by De Standaard Uitgeverij. Inspired by the American Lassie films, including "Lassie Come Home" (1943), Willy Vandersteen, in collaboration with Karel Verschuere, created the comic series Bessy under the pseudonym WIREL. The comic was first published in French in the Belgian newspaper La Libre Belgique in 1952, and in Dutch from 1953 in De Standaard. The series is set in the Wild West, where the Scottish Collie Bessy and her owner, Andy Cayoon, experience all sorts of adventures.

By 1992, a total of 952 albums had been published in German, 164 in Dutch, 151 in French, and 92 in Swedish.

The main characters in this album are Bessy, Andy Cayoon, Mary Webb aka Kaa-Hoora or Drie Vlechten (Three Braids), Snelle Puma (Swift Puma), Bill Rogers, Phil Rife, Sheriff, and Stinkend Zadel (Smelly Saddle).
