Warrior women. Stealing our jobs and f•••ing our wenches. There ought to be a law, man.

My lasting memory of this one is that I had to choose the story from a near-dozen variants of the same plot. Fenix ran a special issue on the topic of ”heroes” and I decided to make a strip where Bernard misses out on being heroic. An idea popped up almost at once – along with ten or so somewhat similar ideas of rather varying quality.  After days of headache I had to get external feedback in order to pick one; thanx again to Erik, Anders and Magnus for helping me out there.

The slain beast was a dragon at first. I changed it to an ogre to have the brunette (whom someone named ”Brown Sonja”) kill an identifiably male monster.

Squared but not straight.
