Vikings made many appearances in Gary Larson’s The Far Side, and as much as the cartoon’s Viking jokes were based in Larson’s interest in real-world history, they presented a deliberately skewed take on the historical record. That is, Larson’s Vikings were nothing short of a bunch of goofballs, in most cases more akin to merry pranksters than violent marauders.
