Arne Anka, duck cartoon by Charlie Christensen in Sweden. Arne is a lonely duck, semi-alcoholic, with poet aspirations. He is always in search of the perfect woman (or any woman at all, for that matter). Arne is very cynical and has strong views on everything. And he is constantly out of money. His leftist/communist views, I suspect, comes mainly from his own low social status, not from any higher political motivation (as he has probably convinced himself)... He usually hangs out on certain bars, pubs and cafes in Stockholm city with his friend Krille Krokodil (the 'alligator'). Other acquaintances of Arne's is a vole and a fox, both of which have succeeded better than Arne, money- wise, but only marginally so.
