“I’ve just discovered Chris Browne’s new blog. It’s crammed with good stuff—stories of his life, terrific paintings of commonplace objects and new cartoons. It shows other sides of Chris than his Hagar the Horrible work.”—senior editor, Sarasota Magazine, Robert Plunket.

Work in Progress
Part of a work in progress. It's fun to get to use my watercolors on Hagar. Wouldn't I love to do a graphic novel about Hagar! The comic strip format doesn't give you the chance to develop character or story arcs. And I'd love to do 2 page spread battle scenes! Wouldn't that be fun? I actually have an outline for a sort of 7th Voyage of Sinbad graphic narrative.
Maybe someday!

YOUR MUSINGS HAVE FINALLY PROMPTED ME TO GATHER THE COURAGE TO CONTACT YOU. I HAVE BEEN A VORACIOUS READER OF HAGAR FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS COVETED THE IDEA OF APPROACHING YOU TO SEE IF YOU ARE AMENABLE TO THE IDEA OF PRODUCING A MANAGEMENT BOOK BASED ON THE WISDOM OF HAGAR - I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE SO MUCH RELEVANT MATERIALS THAT COULD BE MOST FITTING. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BUT MAYBE I HAVEN'T LOOKED HARD ENOUGH. I THINK SOMETHING SUCH AS THIS WOULD BE A GREAT SELLER. MY NAME IS DAVID RYAN FROM AUSTRALIA AND MY EMAIL IS djrttt@hotmail.com (ttt= trim taut and terrific like Hagar).
Chris, This is totally awesome--the colors are incredible.
Please make the graphic novel a reality!!!
Beautiful work!
I would LOVE to see you do a Hagar graphic novel.
This drawing teases at a story that's just begging to be told.
Having just finished reading the pocketbook "HAGAR the HORRIBLE - Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back!" I found myself musing about wanting to see some sort of extension of the character in a long format or graphic novel. I thought I would then search the web for more information on HAGAR and I am glad I came across your blog. I agree he has the potential to be developed further and would love to see that happen!
Your dad created a great character here!
dude, i have a great idea for a hagar the horrible movie. it's fantastic!. *lukus*
