ROUTE 67
MAD #70. April 1962
w: Larry Siegel
a: Mort Drucker

Anthology show that took place on location mainly on the eponymous highway between Chicago and Santa Monica. It starred two guys, Tod (Martin Milner), and Buz (George Maharias), traveling along the open highway, but the stories and host would basically stand alone with them being the anchor characters.
The comic strip Mary Worth was similar in theme and set-up.
ROUTE SWEET SIXTEEN
Cracked #38, August 1964
a: John Severin

From Channel Fem-9
ROUTE SICKETY SICKS
Drag Cartoons #1, June-July 1963
a: Pete Millar

There was a pop song a few years earlier called “Get Your Kicks on Route 66”
Michael Anthony (Marvin Miller) was assistant to 'The Millionaire', who on that show of the same name, gave someone different a million-dollar check each week.
SCTV did a parody of the show.
