1962 Bazooka Joe in the Netherlands and Belgium

It was probably in the year 1962 that the Dutch H-2 series appeared. This series matches the American 2-1959 series, though so far only 28 gags seemed to be used in the Netherlands. The Bazooka Club grew enormously: by the end of 1962 there were more than 90,000 members!

It was probably in 1962 as well that the Dutch H-3 series was launched, identical to the American series 1-60. Also in this series not all American gags seem to be used, likely the H-3 series has 28 gags.
