First question – why did this gag never occur to the guy who’s been doing Hagar the Horrible for the last forty years?
As is well known, the Vikings did not wear horned helmets. Horned helmets were the invention of a Nineteenth Century costume designer for a Wagnerian opera. And even if they had worn them, their women and children would not have.
Not to mention that no child at that time, or for hundreds of years after, had a sandbox.
But the biggest question is, why does the Viking ship in the distance have a Christian symbol (a Maltese cross) on the sail? (Let’s leave aside the fact that the ship seems to have two sails, which no Viking ship ever did, and that the wind blowing the pennant at the top of the mast is blowing in a completely different direction from the wind blowing the sails.) Whatever else the Vikings may have been, they were certainly not Christians. Perhaps the Maltese cross is a symbol from other cultures, including the Vikings.
This is a subject that requires exhaustive research. Which I am not going to do.
