Hagar the Horrible: The Brutish are Coming

There may be some argument about which European first bumped into America--an Italian or a Viking. But of this there is no doubt. The whole world has discovered that jolly Viking, Hagar the Horrible. His misadventures and daring-don't level readers of more than 675 newspapers the world over with laughter every day.

The whole hairy hoard is here: Hagar, the not-so-hard-working barbarian; Helga, the hand that cradles the rock, er, rocks the cradle; Honi, whose heart is yet to be had; Hamlet, the misbegotten heir; and Lucky Eddie, Hagar's sidekick.

Here's your chance to join the more than 35 million people who yuk it up with Hagar, winner of a RUBEN, the National Cartoonists Society's highest tribute.
