Everything Solid Snake said, and also just think about it.

Shojo basically was the third devil on his shoulder that explained that he needs to serve 'the greater Belkar'. Except that Belkar was too stupid in his own way to understand that adhering to the rules (even if only in a facade) was the best way to stay alive and continue to be able to kill things with reckless abandon.

Shojo, the master of bypassing laws, someone (or for that matter, probably the only one) that Belkar respects, was the only person who could tell him that. Roy and everyone else in the Order was trying to beat him over the head with it. And, like a stubborn teenager, all he did was snub his nose at the information at every turn.

It just took a peer to have Belkar listen.

A theme which has been touched on by OotS before - sort of - with Haley's description of the shell game.

I believe that Belkar may have just redefined badass.

EDIT: Also, this pretty much confirms that Mr. Scruffy is Belkar's animal companion.

Didn't realize how much I missed Belkar's antics til this comic. He better not die anyway but metaphorically.

That highway line was pretty classic too.

XD That was amazing.

My playlist flipped over to the main theme from Back to the Future right when I started reading that comic. It was oddly appropriate.

My words after reading this comic were, "Nice, Belkar, nice." I feel like I'll be able to stand by those sentiments in the morning; he really helps the story move along. And Mr. Scruffy helping: I can only sum it up with "OMG High-larious."

...It's updates like these that remind me why OOTS is my favorite webcomic on the interwebs, simplistic art style and all.

Belkar, generally, wasn't a character I liked before.

But damn, he was awesome.
