The Badger is a comic created by Mike Baron.

The Badger is one of Norbert Sykes multiple personalities, and the one most commonly out. The Badger was devoted to defending animals and the environment, but would often overreact, for example, breaking the arm of someone littering.

Norbert works as a bodyguard for Ham Thorndyke, a 5th Century Druid and weather wizard who was put into a coma by every other 5th century wizard. Also employed by Ham is Daisy Fields, a clinical psychologist, who acts as his secretary between providing therapy for Norbert.
