You probably have noticed, but Belkar has an habit of giving inventive nicknames to pretty much anybody. "Stubbles Von Smackhammer" is just the last in a long list of them.

Can you remember any other noticeable nicknames along the course of the comic?

Note that Xykon is no slouch either in this department. For both characters, I guess it's part of the "I couldn't care less what's your real name since I couldn't care less if you live or die" mentality.

Well, my favourite would be Shlubbo Noname-zaki (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0435.html) (first panel).

"It's Pat (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0428.html)," Panel 19, is a favorite of mine.

Yes, he often gives those to unnamed characters too. Like with "Beetle Baley (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0683.html)" (panel 9).

Now, I understand that with "It's Pat" he's talking about Vaarsuvius, but I have no idea what the joke is refering to.

Saturday Night Live sketch about a character with an indeterminable gender.

Also one of my favourite strips, period.

#673, probably my favorite nickname for Durkon from Belkar, "Bristle Steelpanties".

He also called Durkon "Dwarf-for-brains" once.

And let's not forget the names he gives himself, like "The Belkster" and, of course, the "SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR".
