Kung Bore

Kung Bore is a comedic character from Jonas Darnell's anarchic Swedish humor comic Herman Hedning, inhabiting the same gloriously weird world as Herman, Gammelman, and Bacon. The name suggests a kingly figure of tedium or cold, fitting the series' absurdist sensibility.

Born into the Modern Age pages of Egmont's Herman Hedning, Kung Bore made his debut in 2001 courtesy of creator Jonas Darnell, carving out a niche in the wonderfully offbeat Scandinavian humor comics universe. Over a run stretching into 2012, this character shares the anarchic world of Herman Hedning alongside a colorful cast including Herman, Gammelman, and Bacon — company that signals just how gleefully weird this corner of comics gets. With appearances also in Herman Hedning Sommarspecial, Kung Bore is a cult gem for fans of European alternative humor comics who love discovering the unexpected characters lurking beyond the mainstream.
