Literary Model for Happy Barbarian

[Dioltach]

Odd, since his hammer was short-handled...

That's to make it easier to toss.

 

[Krug]

Groo?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Groo!

 

[Hand of Evil]

Hagar The Horrible

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Happy-go-lucky literary barbarians? I present you Thog. Be sure to give him a puppy.

 

[Tonguez]

a few female barbarians I thought of

Discworlds Conina is the daughter of Cohen the Barbarian and a Temple Maiden. She wants to be a hairdresseer

Kala by Nicolas Luard about a feral child raised by Hyenas

La of Opar from the Tarzan novels

She=Ra cousin of He=Man MoTU

Sheena the jungle girl

 

[Dioltach]

There's a case to be made for Mick Dundee in the Crocodile Dundee movies.

 

[Umbran]

Discworlds Conina is the daughter of Cohen the Barbarian and a Temple Maiden. She wants to be a hairdresseer

Which reminds me of another - Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian Swordsperson!

 

[Dioltach]

Or there's Minsc. Perhaps technically not a barbarian, but close enough. And more vivid than some literary characters. "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!"

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

"Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!"

1) that is hilarious in and of itself.

2) I just mentally re-envisioned that as "Go for the eyes, Honey Boo-Boo! Go for the eyes!"
