Hungerly

Croatian name: Gladuš
German name: Nimmersatt
Hungarian name: Falankocska
Italian name: Ghiotto
Slovenian name (original): Lakotnik

Hungerly is one of the three protagonists in the comic series The Adventures of Trickster, Hardie and Hungerly and was created by Miki Muster shortly after Trickster.

Hungerly is a wolf and the biggest glutton and slacker of the trio—simple-minded and often foolish, which regularly gets him into trouble. He possesses a supernatural ability to communicate with animals, knows a few judo tricks, and is always ready for a fight. His particular weakness is that he cannot swim. He enjoys being surrounded by beautiful young women, but because he dislikes commitment, he remains single and without a regular job. He lives in an old hut that frequently collapses on his head.

In the earliest comic books, Hungerly was conceived as a negative character; however, readers responded to him so positively that he gradually evolved into a sympathetic protagonist. Over the years, he even surpassed the main character, Trickster, in popularity. This popularity likely stems from the fact that readers identified with him: although not very intelligent, he always managed to succeed.

Over the span of 23 years, from his first appearance to his final depiction, Hungerly underwent the most significant visual transformation of all three characters. In the earliest stories, he was drawn with a pen as a tall, unattractive, and negative figure; later, rendered with a brush, he appeared stockier, friendlier, and more positive in character.
