Arne Anka is a Swedish comic strip drawn by Charlie Christensen under the pseudonym "Alexander Barks" from 1983 to 1995 and 2006 and forward. The title character closely resembles Donald Duck (who is called "Kalle Anka" in Swedish). The likeness with Donald Duck is only feather deep, however; the comics often take place at a bar, "Zeke's", where Arne gets drunk while he cynically thinks about and discusses life. This usually happens in the company of his friend, "Krille Krokodil" (""Krille Crocodile""). In other situations, Arne is found walking, with friends or alone, and occasionally he is found in a completely different setting (albeit with the same group of friends), like ancient Rome or 18th century Paris. Always, however, he comments on life and (especially Swedish) society with sharp wit.
