<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I would say that Flintheart Glomgold is NOT evil! I base this on his second appearance in "The Money Champ." Unfortunately, I don't have the comic in front of me, but I vividly remember him dealing with guilt in the comic. Doesn't he even say something about how he's glad that his mother can't see him now? I don't think someone can be 100% evil unless they are completely remorseless.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m not sure how to reconcile this with his actions in “So Far and No Safari.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I guess I like to imagine him still fiercely struggling with the tattered shreds of his morality between the panels!</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I think the pig character certainly SEEMS evil, but I think the real issue is that he’s just a poorly developed character.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He lacks Glomgold’s depth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is there anything that can be said for the character beyond he’s boundlessly selfish, ruthless, and completely only interested in his own advancement?</P>
