Ahhh! My Life Is A Lie! I Thought This Guy Was A Pompous Rich Guy That's Very High Class Who's Name Was

Ahhh! My life is a lie! I thought this guy was a pompous rich guy that's very high class who's name was Forkington, but I was wrong! He is a principal at an elementary school that the boys go to and his name is Silverworth! No wonder he wanted good grades from me in the game, it all makes since now!

Thank you for clearing this up! I always assumed it was to make themselves feel better about venting and relying too much on a child.

Now I know my lack of a carefree childhood was not the fault of the adults in my life. I was simply born depressed.

Omg that makes sense

I've had this thought for a while but only just realized I have a tumblr now so I can actually get that thought to reach ppl who'll share my level of madness.

So Sonic yeah? Pretty much the entire main cast are all anthropomorphic animals, excluding Eggman and his family tree. Across adaptations of Sonic, there's not a lot of consistency on what the general population outside of Sonic and the Gang are composed of. In shows like Boom, Prime, and the IDW comics, it's almost entirely animals, and Eggman's the odd one out:

clipping of Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) Issue #14. Two skunk characters, "Rough" and "Tumble" enter a room with Dr. Eggman using a computer. Speech bubble contents: Rough: "Eggman! We're tired of waiting!" Eggman: "...Ah, yes. You're still here."

But in other versions, where there are humans, Eggman still sticks out like a sore thumb:

It's also worth noting that in some Sonic games, there are regular, non-anthropomorphic animals in addition to anthropomorphic versions

Vector the Crocodile

(Yes, Vector is a crocodile not an alligator, but they're close enough taxonomically to be significant. You can't convince me that the difference between alligators and crocodiles in this universe is that one swims in freshwater and the other has bills to pay)

So here's my theory: there's cartoonish, anthropomorphic versions and realistic, non-anthropomorphic versions of the animals, right? So why wouldn't this extend to humans? After all, they're mammals just like hedgehogs and foxes are. AND THAT'S WHAT EGGMAN IS. He's an anthropomorphic animal like Sonic, it just happens to be that the animal he's based on is a human.

Eggman is an anthropomorphic human. He's human squared.

Thank you
