Hägar the Horrible (Comic Strip) | comment |
Hägar the Horrible is a classic comic strip about a red-bearded Viking, created by Dik Browne (Hi and Lois) in 1973.Hägar is married to Helga, who is a formidable woman with bigger horns on her helmet than he has on his. The rest of Hägar's family consists of his young son Hamlet (a book-lover with no interest in violence, much to Hägar's chagrin), and a daughter called Honi who is just old enough to be The Ingenue. His best friend is a klutz called Lucky Eddie. This is a gag-a-day Strip set in Dark Age Europe covering both Viking invasions and sieges (he regularly harasses castles) and Hägar's home life.Not to be confused with Haggis Is Horrible. | |

I Was Quite a Looker | |
Hägar the Horrible (Comic Strip) / int_126ce03c | comment |
I Was Quite a Looker: Helga apparently used to be beautiful, according to some snarky comments by her husband — it also explains where Honi came from. One strip has Hägar trying to compliment Honi by saying her mother used to look just like her, which causes her to declare her whole life ruined. | |

Sadly Mythtaken: Dragons aren't nearly as common in Scandinavian myths as this comic strip would have you believe. It might just be a case of Rule of Cool and Author Appeal, though, since Dik Browne really liked drawing dragons. | |

Artistic License – History: Inevitable in a comic strip with this premise. For one thing, Attila the Hun keeps making appearances (and is referred to even more), even though he died three hundred years before the Vikings began to sail around Europe. Browne stretched this trope even further once, when Hägar met Nostradamus!! | |

Also another relative of them who claims that he had to work 24 hours a day and got nothing to eat but stones and was grateful for them, when he was young.

Alcoholic Parent | |
Hägar the Horrible (Comic Strip) / int_8071d6ed | comment |
Alcoholic Parent: Hägar is a tame version of this: he spends a lot of time drinking at the local tavern, then keeps and drinks from huge alcohol barrels at his house and during his raiding trips he looks for more alcohol to drink, but at the same time he is a good provider for his family, a good father for his son and daugther and struggles to be a decent husband for Helga. | |

Naming Conventions: As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Hägar, Honi, Hernia and Snert. Justified in Hägar's case by originally being a name made up by Dik Browne's kids playing vikings. Famous-Named Foreigner: Hamlet note Which is set in Denmark, while Hägar the Horrible is set in Norway.. Played with in at least one strip, where Hernia becomes a Clingy Jealous Girl when another girl asks him "Are you that Hamlet?" Stock Foreign Name: Helga. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Hägar normally doesn't seem too impressive, but his job is raiding castles and sacking towns, and he shows off some pretty badass stunts while doing so. One three-panel strip has the catapult break down on a raid. So he successfully fills in for it by shotputting boulders at the enemy castle. | |

Hägar the Horrible (Comic Strip) / int_b356f7c1 | comment |
Horns of Barbarism: Exaggerated, with not only the Vikings wearing horned helmets but their pets as well. If a Viking lies, his horns fall off; Hägar tends to go through a lot of helmets because of this. The horns also show the wearer's emotional state, somehow, pointing upward normally but pointing downward when Hagar is sad. | |

Rape, Pillage, and Burn: Hagar and his crew pillage a lot, and occasionally they burn the place and carry away women for unspecified purposes. There are a lot of jokes about this; for example, in a strip, Hagar is leading an army with siege engines and a battering ram against a castle, but it has a sign that says, "No looting and pillaging allowed!" Hagar says, "Gee, I kinda hate to turn back now..." | |

Dub Name Change | |
Hägar the Horrible (Comic Strip) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: In the Norwegian translation, all the main characters are named after people from Snorri Sturluson's Norse Kings' sagas. Hägar is named Hårek after The Viking Age chieftain Hårek of Tjøtta (965-1036). The Swedish translation names Hägar Hagbard Handfaste, his son Loke, his daughter Brynhilde and his best friend Tur-Ture (roughly "Lucky Ture"). In Spanish-speaking countries, the strip is known as "Olafo el Vikingo" or "Olafo el Amargado" ("Olaf the Viking" and "Olaf the Bitter"). Hägar becomes Olafo, Lucky Eddie is named Chiripa (which is spanish slang for a lucky break), Honi is Astrid, Dr. Zook is Doctor Zocotroco and Dirty Dirk is Bola de Churre. The French translation calls him Hägar Dünor, meaning Hagar of the North, but also an Asterix-style pun on one of Paris' train stations (Gare du Nord). His wife is Hildegarde, his daughter is Ingrid and his son Homlet. The Finnish name of the strip is Harald Hirmuinen (Harald the Horrible)—Harald is a genuine Viking name. His best pal is Orm Onnekas (Orm the Lucky) in Finnish. Orm is also a genuine Viking name. | |

I Always Wanted to Say That: Hägar once ordered his men to the life boats. When told they didn't have any, he explained he always wanted to say that. | |

Running Gag | |
Hägar the Horrible (Comic Strip) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Hagar himself hates baths; a Running Gag of the strip is that he only takes one once a year. (In truth, Vikings were known for their personal hygiene at home — on shipboard was another matter; they INVENTED the sauna, after all!) | |

The Magnificent: Inverted with Hägar's epithet, "the Horrible". These are actually his real middle and last names; see Who's on First?. | |
