In 1952 Chris Browne an American comic cartoonist was born. Chris Browne is famously know for his humourous comic strip Hagar the Horrible. Though he is known for Hagar the Horrible, he did not discover him-- his father Dik Browne did. When Chris was 15 he apprenticed his father starting small by cleaning the work station filling in large areas and erasing the pencil lines. Hagar is a fat Viking that always attempts to invade England. Still in his teens the young cartoonist worked as a penciller for the "Barney Rubble" and "Bullwinkle". Chris sent his work out but not telling his relation to his father because he wanted to be known on his own terms. When his father became sick in 1988 Chris took on the duties of "Hagar". His Father soon died a year later in 1989. Soon Hagar appeared in more than 1900 newspapers still to this day it was translated into 13 languages to 45 countries.
