Hello to my new followers! On top of posting round Robins I also draw a Viking-Age comic called the Hogback Saga. Its about groups of Norse settlers that have been ousted from Dublin trying to form a new community as part of Strathclyde, the last kingdom of the North Britons.
I just drew this because I love the evocative imagery but its interesting considering this alongside the other example in the sagas of someone afab but assuming a male name/role
and if that burial at Birka was along similar lines

watching tinker,tailor, soldier, spy- beyond the beautiful cinematography, or the plot or byzantine web of intrigue I'm forever fascinated by the true heart of the tale: Smiley enduringly going back to his wife despite her shagging every cunt in the vicinity

For the Govan Stones I go at lengths to explain they were a Brythonic Celtic speaking people and the Hogbacks could have a Viking artistic influence but were most likely made for the Strathclyde Kings
so its funny going seeing posts/videos claiming it was a Viking graveyard but what can you do?

Was interesting watching this Jackson Crawford video that brings up the concept of the Ægishjálmur being some manner of force field rather than a literal helmet which reminded me of this old sketch I made trying to tackle that very subject
