I mean, this seems entirely semi-plausible, doesn’t it? Think about it from the Viking perspective. All of your gods have badass magical weapons. Thor has a hammer. Odin has a spear. Loki’s got nunchucks. You’ve got to assume the gods in the other religions are armed too!
You never know what might show up in those melting glaciers. Should they leave this guy packed in ice, or let the ice man thaweth? I vote for thaweth, but at least point him in the right direction, or take cover behind a lead wall or something.
Things most people don’t realize about Vikings:
– most of them were farmers
– they probably didn’t have horns on their helmets (even though they should have)
– they liked to put bumperstickers on their longships
I had a few more stickers I wanted to add, but I ran out of room (and time). Maybe I’ll create a sequel at some point 🙂
Don’t make fun of him too much, the dude can swing can axe! Plus, I suspect most of the readers of this comic have at least a little bit of Mjölnerd inside them. I don’t have a Viking propeller helmet, but I’d kill for one of those Sleipnir polo shirts. For anyone blinking their eyes and saying “huh, hrm, mjol-what?”, read up on the adventures of Thor’s magical hammer Mjölnir.
Oh no! The pesky Vikings are out again, scaring the neighborhood with their doomsday tales and trying to convert people to their medieval ways.
Heh heh… some of y’all know it’s true 😉 . I belong to the same Facebook groups where people post photos of the Vikings television show with quotes from the Hávamál. Trying something a little different here with a single image, hand drawn toon. I spend too much time in front of the computer. If I’m really going to get this baby running again, I need to diversify! Also, I just wanted to prove that, on occasion, I can draw arms and legs (don’t scrutinize them too carefully, you’ll ruin the illusion).
It may be noble to show up to a fight alone, but it increases the odds of victory to show up with 500 screaming kinsmen carrying swords, axes, and spears!
Frigg is worried about her youngest son. She has just learned that Baldur and Loki are in jail for attempting to smuggle contraband into Asgard. She doesn’t want those burly vikings loving on Baldur all night long. Odin is content to let the boys sit a while. They need to learn an important lesson: when bringing loot into Asgard, the good stuff goes to Odin!
Don’t accuse me of showing the mighty one in a bad light. This kind of stuff is straight out of the Eddas. Show Odin your loot at your own risk!
