Hardie

English name: Thickhead, Hardie
Croatian name: Tvrtko
German name: Harty
Hungarian name: Kökemenyke
Italian name: Zuccone
Slovenian name (original): Trdonja

Hardie is one of the three protagonists in the comic series The Adventures of Trickster, Hardie and Hungerly, and was the last of the trio to be created by Miki Muster.

Hardie is a turtle and, among the three characters, the smallest in stature yet the oldest, and therefore the wisest, most prudent, stubborn, and adaptable. Like his companions, he enjoys the company of attractive women and lives outside the framework of regular employment. In the adventures, he consistently fights on the side of justice and good. Among readers, however, Hardie never achieved the popularity of his two friends.

Over the course of 23 years, from his first appearance to his final depiction, Hardie’s visual style underwent gradual changes, though less dramatically than those of the other two characters. In the earliest stories, he was drawn with a pen, which gave him a sense of rigidity and severity; later, he was rendered with a brush, lending him a softer and more gentle appearance.
