Hagar's wife Hilda should of been rafted

Arnold Buckley

  Vikings were rotten selfish people that would go everywhere to plunder and take what they wanted. The comic strip Hagar the Horrible often details some of these behaviors of these Scandinavian bullies centuries ago. The comic strip gets it right and is funny at times though lacking in great dialogue. One character which appears often and  which makes the strip much less entertaining is Helda. Helda is a complete bitch and many Viking women were indeed the glue that held the clans together and dominant over the warriors. When Hagar's wife Helda appears in the strip you can always count of the stereotypical wife hag gags that likeI said are down not amusing. Unfortunately nothing is ever comedic nor interesting when comic artist Chris Browne uses Helda in his strips and her character basically sucks ass. Helda really brings the strip down and one must wonder if wives like Helda are primarily the reason the Vikings were always out and away looking for far away lands and new wives. Surely many Viking men were pushed around and made to feel inadequate by women l.ke Helda and their self righteousness attitudes and domineering behavior  must of drove warriors nuts who wold then go and vent their frustration on old Irish monks. I hate Helda and wish comic artist Chris Browne could of somehow done away with the idea of Hagar being some family man when Browne wanted basically a war comic strip. A real Viking, even one in the comic worlds, should of taken Helda and put her to the sword for her verbal assaults and malevolent attitude towards old Hagar.
