Yummy, boiled ham.
That helmet that Hamhock is wearing with the wings on it doesn’t look Viking to me; it’s more like the one worn by Mercury.

You would think he would have asked that before putting it on. Or did putting it on cause him to need to ask it.

Viking helmets didn’t have horns - and if you think about it for a moment, you’ll realize why not. Some early germanic priests wore headdresses with antlers. It was depictions of these that let to the notion of horned helmets.

Wait, wait, let’s back up a tic. Tyr has children so either some women bore his offspring as a result of some “pillaging” or Vikings can clone themselves. Wonder where the son is now…

No name is ever given for a wife of Týr. Just about the only evidence that he is married comes in the Lokasenna, in which Loki taunts him for being a cuckold.

It’s been given here, runar. Her name is Bruda (or something like that). Cartoon Vikings wear horned helmets, like cartoon angels have wings and haloes, cartoon goats eat tin cans, and cartoon mice adore cheese above all else.
