This is interesting social commentary for a strip that's supposed to be about Vikings.
ReplyDeleteHas it ever been made explicitly clear what Helga thinks of Hagar carrying off the women of the villages that he ransacks to perform unspeakable acts? Maybe "keeping your mouth shut" is part of a Viking wife's job too.
She seems to be OK with it.
