'''''Cattivik''''' is (was) an italianItalian comic book created by Bonvi, well known for ''[[Sturmtruppen]].'' It started as a parody of ''[[Diabolik]]'', another Italian comic. The main Character is an ugly pear-shaped thing with a black suit that commits (or at least try) crimes, usually mugging people or by burglary, but is [[Butt Monkey|always thwarted]] and suffers lots of [[Humiliation Conga]] of all sorts.
 
Its humour is often based on parody, fart and burp jokes and ludicrous violence, frequent parodies of Italian politicians, and politically incorrect jokes.
 
It was published from 1989 to 2005. In 2008 an animated series was made, based on some episodes of the comic.

=== Cattivik contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: "I Fanzinari Brufolosi" (the Zitty Fanboys) towards Cattivik and, in one story, a huge, ugly Fangirl who kidnaps Cattivik and force him to draw a story for her(which is a parody of Stephen King's Misery).
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Crapsack World]]
* [[Collector of the Strange]]: "Battista il Collezionista" (which sounds like "Hector the Collector") IS this trope: names something, he collect it. Including rocks, lockets, couchs, fish, Muslim's erotic magazines, hounds, carnivorous plants, bombs and mines, weapons, blowpipes, hot air ballons, ropes, caves, gems and even ''experience''.
* [[Depending Onon the Writer]]: The art and his behaviour changes frequently.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: He wields a trusty wooden hammer. Sometimes a large, steel one.
* [[Exit, Pursued Byby a Bear]]: Actually never a bear, but also: an angry mob, crocodiles, hounds and sharks. In a particulary funny story he poisons (with the foul stench from the sewers) a ball party... of all kind of policemen and such. He almost get away in time.... only to be spotted and chased by a ludicrously large (about five whole panels) mob of policemen, firefighters, scouts, anti-riot troops, dog units and so on.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: He can eat almost anything, but usually disgusting stuff, including salamander [[Nausea Fuel|filled with fly's eggs and fried in spider's grease]] with [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|origan.]]
* [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]]: Very often.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Hammerspace]]: That or his leotard is really spacious.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Even if Cattivik can barely read or write he can conjure weird contraptions or a [[Thememobile]] using only whatever junk he can find into the sewers he lives into.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: It happens to him quite frequently.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Being beaten to a pulp is quite common. Other fates include being thrown in jail, captured by a group of Boy Scouts, sealed somewhere, exposed as a freak , forced to work as a (female) prostitute and even got married to a [[Camp Gay]] stylist (as his bride, no less)
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: From spoons to howitzers.
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: With weapons in a hooligan themed episode: He first mug a large hooligan with a kitchen knife, and the guy just [[Crocodile Dundee|pull out a huge knife and dice him.]] Then he try his luck against another hooligan (this time with a pistol), put the other one pulls out a ''rocket launcher''. The last time he attempted with a small cannon, but the "victim" was a small band of delinquents with [[Rule of Funny|''a Tank!'']].
* [[Take Our Word for It]]: The blizzard episode where everything's white. At one point he runs into a colossal [[Scenery Porn|Ice sculpture representing the October's Revolution and the assault on the Chzar's palace complete with horses, soldiers and any possible kind of minute decorations.]]
{{quote| '''Cattivik''': "I'm shocked with awe and surprise! Is a pity that you can't see this!"}}
* [[Tempting Fate]]: And it never miss a chance of biting him in the ass.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: In one episode (a homage to ''Sturmtruppen'') Cattivik finds a group of really old, senile nazi soldiers who are unaware that the war is over.
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: In at least a couple episodes (both involving a psychiatrist) he manages to finally steal something without getting torn to pieces.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: He often omits the last vowel of each word.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Wholesome]]/CreepyCrossdresser: Only once was voluntary, while the other times is usually part of an [[Humiliation Conga]].
