JUST NEED A HUG
Helga, the wife of Hagar the Horrible, that intrepid Viking from the comics, is standing at the pot and cooking. She hears a noise and asks, “Is that you Hagar?” Hagar replies, “Yes.” Helga, still watching the pot as she stirs, says, “You’re late! Where were you?” Hagar says, “I had a business meeting with Atilla the Hun.” Helga then says, “Well, hurry up and wash your hands, dinner is almost ready!” Hagar says, “Uh, could you come in here for a minute?” Helga says, “Okay, but I’m busy. What do you want?” Helga, who hasn’t turned from the pot during the whole conversation, turns and sees Hagar bruised and battered and on his knees after his “business meeting” with Atilla the Hun. Hagar pleads, “I need a hug?” From Hagar the Horrible, by Chris Browne, 2-21-93
