In 1994 the comic was published for the first time in a self-published, smaller edition. 10 volumes had appeared by 1998. In the late 1990s, Trudy Cooper had to sit out for a long time due to illness, which is why no further editions were published. Since 2003 the individual episodes have been offered for reading directly on the official homepage as a free shockwave webcomic . The chapters are also available in print. 20 chapters have appeared so far.

Characters

Jeremy Lachlan MacConnor : A gifted physicist and scientist with some problems dealing with the opposite sex. He comes from an old Scottish family and is the owner of MacConnor Castle. He can be recognized by his French Foreign Legion hat and has a domestic pig named Arthur.

Nilson Maria Theresa "Nils" Kerr : Jeremy's constant companion, who ruthlessly harasses him and sometimes puts his life in danger. She can be recognized by her platinum blonde hair, which gives the series its name. Her character is exactly the opposite of that of Jeremy's. She is extraverted , loud and of a rather simple disposition. She is barely clad and has short-term, sex-based affairs. Despite their love-hate relationship, one can always see how much the two like each other.

Kate Provoczki: highly intelligent ex-roommate of Nils. She is more the pragmatic personality in the group. She wears short black hair and works as a journalist because she likes to gossip about people. She is a heavy smoker. As the series progresses, she falls in love with Jeremy.
