Description

Here’s a detailed transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Character 1: It’s a good job being a berserker. The loot is above average, the episodes of uncontrolled bloodlust reveal a lot about your own character, you get to work outside…

Panel 2: Character 2: Yeah, but what they don’t tell you about is the work-related stress.

Panel 3: Character 1: Descending into a blind rage is associated with thickening of the arteries and cardiac hypertrophy.

Panel 4: Character 2: And now they’re saying ax wounds to the head are linked to brain damage!

Panel 5: Character 3: Hey, work is work.

Panel 6: Character 4: I dunno. Honestly, I also have ethical concerns.

Panel 7: Character 1: What?

Panel 8: Character 4: There’s a study out this year that suggests Frenchmen feel pain.

Panel 9: Character 2: Oh my god, Hakan, if Frenchmen felt pain they would say instead of just making all of those gibberish noises!

Panel 10: Character 3: Yeah, true.

Panel 11: Character 1: Hey, what if instead of pillaging, we created a socialist democracy that’s known for meatballs and cheerful furniture.

Panel 12: Character 2: AHAHAHAHAHA!
