Herman Hedning

A long-running Swedish comic series published by Egmont from 1998 to 2018, Herman Hedning follows the chaotic, prehistoric adventures of the titular caveman and his family—including his wife Lilleman, the elderly Gammelman, and their pets Bacon and Egg—as they bumble through daily life under the watchful eye of their creator, Skaparen. Primarily written and drawn by Jonas Darnell, with significant contributions from Ulf Granberg and artists Patrik Norrman and Peter Friman, the series became a beloved staple of Scandinavian humor comics for its slapstick, deadpan absurdity, and endearingly flawed characters. Spanning 158 issues, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of simple, character-driven comedy in the European comic tradition.
