''Hägar the Horrible'' is the title and main character of an American comic strip created by cartoonist Dik Browne (1917–1989), and syndicated by King Features Syndicate. It first appeared in February 1973, and was an immediate success.〔 Since Browne's retirement in 1988 (and subsequent death), his son Chris Browne has continued the strip.〔William B. Jones, ''Classics illustrated: a cultural history, with illustrations'', McFarland: 2002, ISBN 0-7864-1077-9, 267 pages, pp:171, 229–230〕 As of 2010, ''Hägar'' is distributed to 1,900 newspapers in 58 countries and translated into 13 languages.〔(King Features Syndicate: ''Hägar the Horrible'' ), access date July 16, 2009〕 The strip is a caricature and loose interpretation of Viking Age Scandinavian life. ==Overview== "Hagar the Terrible" was the nickname given to the late Dik Browne by his sons; Browne adapted the name to ''Hägar the Horrible'' for the purposes of alliteration. After his death Dik Browne's sons changed the title of the strip to ''Dik Browne's Hägar the Horrible'' in tribute.〔Terence J. Sacks, ''Opportunities in Cartooning and Animation Careers'', McGraw-Hill Professional: 2007, ISBN 0-07-148206-7, ISBN 978-0-07-148206-6: 160 pages: pp 71〕〔 The name is pronounced ''Hay-gar'' by Chris Browne.〔("Comics: Meet the Artist with Chris Browne", ''Washington Post'', August 30, 2002. )〕 Hägar (sometimes written "Hagar") is a shaggy, scruffy, overweight, red-bearded Viking. He regularly raids England and sometimes France. Animation-industry writer Terence J. Sacks notes the juxtaposition of contrary qualities that make Hägar endearing to the reader: "Hägar's horned helmet, rough beard and shaggy tunic make him look somewhat like a caveman or primitive viking, but you also know Hägar has a soft underbelly occasionally exposed."〔
