Bernard's compilation book The Dark and Hairy Annals of Birger Barbaren has a bunch of sketchy cartoons on the inside covers; most of them single-image scenes, a few with two or three ”panels”.  Presented here for your perusal.

I saw an ad for ”foam bras”, so…

Fur joke #1.

Fur joke #2.

Gonna bring the house down!
After a story idea by Krister Sundelin.

It's an ancient secret art.

But what if it's NOT a trap?

Think there was a Benny Hill joke on that theme, with a dog.

I just read them for the articles.

Dawn Late Morning of the Dead.

Bernard the Hogslayer!

That, That Dude Looks Like a Lady.

Ffffthagn!
