Chris Browne, Hagar the Horrible Cartoonist, Dies at 70

Chris Browne, the cartoonist behind the Hägar the Horrible comic strip and son of Hägar's creator Dik Browne has passed away. Comics Beat brings word of his death, revealing he died "following a long illness" at the age of 70.

Chris took over working on the strip after his father's retirement and death, working with his brother Chance and cartoonist, working on the strip in some form from 1989 to 2023, over half of the character's entire lifespan. Hägar actually celebrated its 50th publishing anniversary earlier this week on February 4th.

Hägar the Horrible, which is actually a satire on life and not exclusively a Viking-themed comic strip, continues to be circulated and is hailed by King Features Syndicate as "the fastest growing comic strip ever." When Browne's father Dik created the strip, he ended up basing many of the characters on friends and family. The strip continues to be distributed across thousands of newspapers every day, publishing in over 50 countries

Growing up when I would read the comic strips before school or on the weekends Hagar was always one of my favorites. RIP

Dying in a house fire has to be one of the worst ways to go. Unless smoke inhalation while sleeping causing to go peacefully while sleeping.
