Earl



Earl was a student at Highland High. Extremely violent, he was part of Todd Ianuzzi's gang, casually threatened violence, and habitually carried weapons to school. Despite that, Daria sat next to him several times.

In "Incognito", he threatens to murder Beavis and Butt-head (who use extremely obvious "disguises" in response) but decides against it after they back him up when he denies firing a gun in class. When the shot happened, Mr. Van Driessen sternly asked Earl if the shot hadn't come from his gun by any chance; when it was clear the shot came from outside, Daria pointed the attacker out and Earl returned fire to the cheers of the class. "Mister Van Driessen don't like people interrupting when he's diagramming photosynthesis!" Sadly, Van Driessen confiscated Earl's gun for the rest of the year, causing the thug to tearfully apologise.

In further show of Van Driessen getting through to Earl, in Beavis and Butt-head issue 28 the teacher gently talked him into donating one of his bricks to a time capsule. Earl decided he could always find a different brick to throw through the school windows.

In Beavis and Butt-head Do America, Muddy Grimes is in contact with a hitman fixer named "Earl". Was it the same Earl...??

Fandom has used Earl as someone Daria has an unlikely connection too, working off how casual they seem with each other in "Incognito". (Sometimes this leads to shipping because of course it does)

Trivia
He only appears in a single episode after "Incognito", which has rarely been repeated and never put on video due to having a school shootout. However, Earl appears irregularly in the comics where he's part of Todd's gang.
