Draft:Hungerpot (Lakotnik)

Lakotnik is one of the three main characters of the Adventures of Zvitorepca, Harddonje, and Lakotnik comics series by Miki Mustra. Between 1952 and 1973, more than forty adventures were published, which were originally published in Tedenska Tribuna and Petka Panorama, but were later reprinted several times in book form.

Traits
The names of the main characters represent their personality traits. Thus, Zvitorepec is the most cunning of them all, Hardy has hard armor, which saves him many times in danger, and Hungry is the biggest glutton. All three main characters are also characterized by the fact that they do not have a regular job, but they never lack money, because they always get it as a reward for successful adventures.

Lakotnik is the only one who can talk to animals (e.g. sharks, elephants, monkeys and lions). He is constantly hungry - hence his name - and can gulp down huge amounts of food and drink. He likes to sleep, and because of this sometimes there are complications. Lakotnik is skilled in judo holds and is always ready for a good fight. Like Zvitorepec and Trdonja, he likes beautiful and young women around him and often falls in love, but he quickly finds out what responsibilities family life would bring and prefers to remain single. He is the only one who cannot swim, so Zvitorepec and Trdonja often rescue him. In the stories, Lakotnik has the most different professions: he was already a photographer, a detective's assistant, a boxer...

The greedy wolf lives in an old cabin, which repeatedly collapses on his head, but is rebuilt and unchanged in each new adventure.

Depictions of Zvitorepec, Trdonja and Lakotnik
The depictions of the three heroes can be seen on Slovenian ski resorts, where the FIS rules of behavior on the ski resort are presented to skiers in a picturesque way.
