S1NGLE is a Dutch gag-a-day comic series, created in 2000 by Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit. It centers on three women and their endless endeavours to find the right male partner. The popularity of the series inspired a TV sitcom series of the same name.
Concept.
"S1NGLE" is about three young women who work in a hospital and who often go on dates to find the perfect partner. A lot of comedy is provided by the girls' distinctive personalities, the type of men they meet and sexual situations.
"S1NGLE" is published in the Dutch newspapers "Het Parool", "De Gelderlander" and "Algemeen Dagblad", among some regional Dutch newspapers. In Belgium it is published in Gazet van Antwerpen and it has been published by HUMO too in the late 2000s. As of 2013 15 albums are available; all published by "De Harmonie".
Television adaptation.
From 2008 until 2010 the series was adapted into a TV sitcom, broadcast on NET 5, which ran for three seasons. Bracha van Doesburgh played the part of Fatima, Eva Van Der Gucht Nienke and Katja Schuurman Stella. The series was also exported to Germany, Austria, Belgium and Hungary.
Legal issues.
In 2004 Kolk and De Wit sued a magazine that also had the title "S1NGLE" in its name. The magazine was forced to disestablish itself on order of the judge for "untolerable copyright infringement".
