Hagar the Horrible

Hagar the Horrible is the title and the name of the main character of a syndicated comic strip, created in 1973, by Dik Browne, distributed to 1,900 newspapers in 58 countries, in 13 languages. Hagar is a Viking warrior who regularly goes off to invade England. The humor of the comic strip comes from his interactions with his longboat crew (whose first mate, contrary to depictions of Vikings as big muscled warriors, is a short naive fellow named Lucky Eddie) and his family (his wife Helga, his son Hamlet, his daughter Loni, and his dog Snert). Since Dik's retirement in 1988, his son, Chris, has continued the comic himself.
