Hagar the Horrible, 8/23/26

I honestly don’t know if we’re supposed to understand “Lucky Eddie is an animal lover” and “Lucky Eddie’s girlfriend is a half-human, half-fish” and “Lucky Eddie is getting off on doing undercover furry stuff with hot human ladies” in combination as showing that he’s slowly and methodically trying to figure some extremely specific kink out or if he’s got a set of polymorphous perversities across this whole general conceptual space. As long as everyone involved is having a good time, that’s all I care about!

Dustin, 8/23/26

God, Dustin’s eager facial expression in the third panel here is heartbreaking. “Were you embarrassed? In front of all your friends? Was this a situation where you were humiliated, instead of me? Tell me more. Tell me everything.” This is why Dustin’s dad never takes his son to work.

What with Leroy being a Millennial, you’d think he’d be on board with a work-from-home environment. But obviously “home” is where Loretta is, and their emotionally chaotic and combustible marriage would simply end in violence if he didn’t leave the house for eight hours a day, so he’ll do it even if that means putting on a suit and tie. The rest of his co-workers quite obviously are less than thrilled about his constant presence around the office, and in fact he might be one of the very reasons why work-from-home is becoming increasingly popular there.

Hagar the Horrible, 8/14/26

Ah, old Myrddin Wyllt, the Brythonic sorcerer who helped Emrys Wledig stave off the Saxon invasion of Britain — for a little while, anyway. Thanks to immortality, he’s lived long enough to see the Saxons, who long ago forced the Britons into the harsh Western mountains, hammered by yet another Germanic-speaking group from across the sea. He probably sees the irony in it all, though he doesn’t have to like the new guys, either.

Did you, Wilbur? Did you change? Did you change, Wilbur? Is that what you think? That you changed your behavior and general vibe, somehow? Is that your perception of the situation? That you changed? Interesting. Interesting!

Hello, faithful readers! I am back from my vacation, grateful as ever for Uncle Lumpy for filling in for me and grateful as ever to you for your very kind contributions to the Summer Fundraiser! You’ll all be getting your individualized thank yous soon enough, but first: today’s comics, full as usual with violence and mayhem!

Hagar the Horrible, 7/27/26

I honestly first read this as “their mood stabilizer” and assumed that the joke was that Hagar’s men, bored and antsy after who knows how long at sea, had turned on one another. But no, the joke is that Hagar is filled with deeper violent impulses than any of us imagined, impulses that cannot be controlled even with the best of 10th century pharmaceutical science, and has beaten his men bloody in a terrifying episode that it seems he’s completely forgotten about mere moments later. Quick, Lucky Eddie! Strike now, while he’s calm, and either rescue your fellow crewmen or earn your place in Valhalla!

Pluggers, 7/27/26

When it comes to rain, a plugger knows it’s either too much, which provides a perfect cover for strangling a frog, or not enough, which increases the risk that someone will see you strangling the frog and you’ll get in trouble for it. That’s why pluggers are so effective at frog murder: they time it just right.

Wow, that’s really profound, when you think about it that way! So I guess what you’re saying is that just owning things is enough, and I don’t have to ever clean them? Uh, for my family, this helps my family.
