      Had to check. It looks like the comic actually only ceased production last year after the passing of the (second) artist.

      Chris Browne took on Hägar after his father Dik - who drew the linked comic - died, but today I learned that Chris died last year.

      As an extra kicker, I also learned that his brother Chance died a couple of months back. He didn’t draw Hägar but had taken on another of their father’s strips, Hi and Lois.

      My denial about getting older can only take so much of this.
