Trivia: Who is “Hägar the Horrible”?
A ruthless king
A sloppy giant
A Greek god
A medieval Viking
Correct Answer: A medieval Viking
So why is this answer correct? : This little red-bearded Viking broke records after the launch of Dik Browne’s comic strip in February 1973 when Hägar and his crew became the fastest-growing comic strip of all time. The main character and comic strip’s namesake, Hägar, looks like a fierce Viking warrior on the outside, but really, he’s a loving family man with all the same problems as the modern suburban father. Hägar and his wife Helga have a son named Hamlet, a daughter Honi, and two pets, Snert the dog, and Kvack the duck.
