Hmm, interesting. According to the following page, Tyr takes one of two sacrifices:
Throwing a spear over the heads of your enemies before battle.
Sacrifice a man by hanging him.

I wonder which one Beetle Bailey used?

I figured Beetle for a Lutheran.

Bailey is an Irish name, no? I guess there are SOME Irish Lutherans, somewhere…
Lois in “Hi and Lois” is Beetle’s sister, so clues might be found there, but I’ve always thought Hi looked Jewish.
But: “Hi and Lois” was created by Mort Walker and taken over by Dik Browne. Dik Browne later created “Hagar the Horrible”, so if it turns out that Beetle and Lois are descended from Hagar, then Norwegian Lutheran would be a distinct possibility.
