Wanda Wunderbuss
Wanda Wunderbuss; Gary Grimlove; P.R. Picker
The story of Wanda Wunderbuss, an anchorwoman for the NIT Nightly News. Secretly engaged to the handsome but dumb co-anchor, Gary Grimlove, Wanda begins to wonder why she's constantly sent out on dangerous assignments in foreign countries while Gary is given all the cushy jobs. When she's finally had enough of the unequal treatment, she hits Gary, who self-destructs: he was a robot created by NIT to be the perfect pretty, bland anchorman. Wanda takes the loss of her fiancé in stride, and threatens to reveal NIT's secret unless she is allowed to pick her own assignments and her own co-anchor.

This strange satirical story was a pilot for a series that never happened; the title page proclaims "introducing Wanda Wunderbuss!" but she never appeared again.

At one point Wanda refers to herself as "Wunderbust." Most appearances of the name "Wunderbuss" have the last "s" looking slightly different from the other letters. It appears that "Wunderbust" was changed for being too suggestive, but one mention of the original name slipped through.
