I think I know who Belkar was as a child...

Check out some of these strips; they seem frighteningly in-character for a young Belkar... :smalleek:

OH, and they're very funny, too. :smallbiggrin:

[Zherog]

Nah - Calvin's not evil; he's chaotic neutral with evil tendencies. http://www.majik.be/smilies/evil.gif

[truemane]

I guess it 's possible, and it could have been his relationship with Hobbes that caused him to seek out Ranger as a class.

I think Calvin's taller than Belkar, though...

[Jalor]

No, there's no stabbing. Belkar's obsessed with stabbing. Slashing too. He's not really the "evil overlord" type.

[truemane]

Well, it's obvious that his Evil Overlord phase (Early Belkar) was prompted by the lack of power and control over his life he possessed as a halfling child in a human world.

However, as he grew in strength and cunning, he grew to know and love the feel of blade entering soft yielding flesh, and forsook his empty and shallow pursuits of temporal power (Modern Belkar).

See?

It all fits.

Plus if YOU were Belkar's father, would YOU give him a knife?

[Vhaidara]

Nah. Belkar's not that original. Also, could you see Belkar inventing any of the things Calvin made? Also, Calvin is more of a rouge type, with maybe a level in druid or ranger.

[Zherog]

Calvin is more of a rouge type...

Calvin's not red...

I beg to disagree.

Belkar was Cartman. Say no more.

Now, what on earth does Calvin have to do with a druid?

Think really carefully for a second...

Calvin's not red...Darn Rouges. (http://www.darklegacycomics.com/41.html)

[Silvermike]

Calvin's a bratty little kid, but he's genuinely goodhearted and empathetic most of the time. He resents authority pretty solidly, and indulges his own fantasy-drama of his life. He's also got a bit of a darker, violent side, but seems to have little interest in acting it out.

I'd say Calvin's Elan and Nale's lost triplet.

[Reptilius]

Calvin is far too intelligent and insightful to be Belkar as a child.

Yeah, but owning a stuffed animal hardly has anything to do with being a druid... rogue, okay, but druid? No way.

[Kjata]

Hobbes was real, damn you! Real! REAL!

[Rhyeira]

I knew someone would say this. :smallsmile:

Druids get a certain class ability at level one. I'll give you a hint; it rhymes with fanimal dompanion. :smallamused:

And he needs it because Hobbes is real, darn it!

[Twilight Jack]

You know, it's funny. I saw the subject of this thread and I knew this was going to be about Calvin before I even opened it.

I completely disagree with the assessment, but I still knew.

Erm... yes, I knew perfectly well what you meant even before you explained it a second time, the point is that I just don't agree... mainly because I really don't think Calvin is acting like a druid in the slightest way, and because I don't think that owning a tiger (not even a real one) makes any difference as far as that is concerned.

I could also put it like this: Seeing Calvin as a druid doesn't seem to make more sense to me than, for example, seeing him as a wizard (with Hobbes being his familiar) or as a paladin (with Hobbes being his special mount).

Sigged! :smallbiggrin:

Actualy, he always was the smallest

[Igfig]

Hah. Calvin didn't grow up to become Belkar, but he did grow up to be another beloved fictional character (http://metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=29_0_2_0).

Holy CARP.

I want to find whoever wrote that and... uh... hug them. Or something. Because they are genius.

Flesh doesn't yield.

[mockingbyrd7]

I never said that he was EXACTLY like Belkar... just that the whole Chaotic, semi-demented, insane trait is shared between the two of them. Belkar developed his stabbing fetish and his embrace of evil later in life. (Or so I say.)
