Enemies
During the course of their adventures, Hal and Roger have made many enemies. These include Hal’s embittered ex-school friend, Sylvester K. Inkham (nicknamed "Skink") and an angry witch doctor with no scruples. Some, through their interactions with Hal and Roger, are led to redeem their past misdeeds, while others simply suffer the consequences of their actions. Of these enemies, only one, the "Reverend" Merlin Kaggs, has made more than one appearance as a villain.

Famous quotes containing the word enemies:
“Nothing could his enemies do but it rebounded to his infinite advantage,—that is, to the advantage of his cause....

It is more worthy to leap in ourselves
Than tarry till they push us.”
