Cip l'arcipoliziotto (also spelled as "Cip l'arcipoliziottto" or "l'arcipoliziotto Cip") is the title character of a comic strip series.
The comic was created by Benito Jacovitti in 1945. [1] [2]
It is a zany parody of traditional crime-noir literature. [3] It features a little, bald and scorbutic detective that, helped by his loyal assistant Gallina ("Chicken"), try to catch Zagar, a black-dressed criminal that is an expert in disguises. [2] [4]
The comics were published in the comic magazines Il Vittorioso , Gli Albi del Vittorioso and Il Giornalino . [1] Cip, Gallina and Zagar were also recurring characters of Diario Vitt, the illustrated diary that Jacovitti made almost each year from 1950 to 1980. [5]
