Quark (comic)
Quark is the name of a comic book character and an associated comic and cartoon series .
content
A running gag of the series is that the little troll Quark, after annoying his parents or other trolls with cheeky actions, was grabbed by the back of his shirt by his father and kicked another place in this world. This allowed Quark to continue his pranks in those other places and thus annoy other living beings, such as grim bears or angry Santa Claus.
