Line 13:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Hägar normally doesn't seem too impressive, but his job is raiding castles and sacking towns, and he shows off some pretty badass stunts while doing so. One three-panel strip has the catapult break down on a raid. So he successfully fills in for it by ''shotputting boulders at the enemy castle''.
** He ''straightened up'' the (formerly) Leaning Tower of Pisa ... because he thought it was about to fall on an infant.
* [[Cunning Linguist]]: Lucky Eddie.
* [[Cut a Slice, Take the Rest]]
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
* [[Hates Baths]]: Hägar hates his yearly bath.
* [[Henpecked Husband]]
* [[Horny Vikings]]: And if a Viking tells a lie, his horns will fall off. Once Hägar told Helga [[Up to Eleven|such]] a whopper that not only his horns but hers, the dog's (yes, the dog wears a helmet, too), and the nearby cow's (non-helmet) horns fell!
* [[The Ingenue]]: Honi.
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Lucky Eddie - one longer story does explain he used to be extremely lucky until he was cursed.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
* [[Outlived Its Creator]]: Dik Browne died years ago, and the strip has been worked on by his son since then.
* [[Print Long Runners]]: Since 1974, which is practically still baby years for a comic strip.
* [[Shout-Out]]: "Hooray, Hooray! [[Jonathan Coulton|It's the third of May!]] Outdoor gardening starts today!!
* [[Symbol Swearing]]
* [[Ugly Guys Hot Daughter]]: Honi is thin and gorgeous compared to the lumpy, hairy Hägar. Apparently this is due to Helga's looks in her youth.
