'''''The Caviar Kid''''' is a [[webcomic]] created by [[Virgil Rocca]].

== Premise ==

The comic promises to follow three generations of one family, and starts with high school dropout named David Carradine (no relation to the [[Wikipedia:David Carradine|actor]]), his pregnant girlfriend (Bernadette), and his younger cousin (Sebastian). The trio live in a small apartment in the fictional town of Sistray (a reference to The Velvet Underground song "Sister Ray") a town 20 miles from Seattle, New York and Las Vegas.

== Style ==

===Artwork===

The comic's "producer" Logan Miller dubs the art style "GrungeFur", a clustered busy and sketch-like bit. It occasionally employs a technique often used by animation director Ralph Bakshi (director of Fritz The Cat) where live-action sources are used as the background. TCK is highly influenced by music and has several music samples and citations on strips. Vinci & Arty also make an appearance as David's neighbors.

===Writing===

According to the author, The Caviar Kid is a semi-autobiographical story chronicling parts his family's history with several fictional twists. The main characters are portrayed as selfish, ignorant and immature. They often make hateful remarks at each other and usually laugh at their own comments. Several common themes are teen angst, self-parody, extensive references to pop culture and realistic dialogue.

===Music===
The Caviar Kid has featured several independent and underground artists in it, particularly Seattle bands.
A strip was dedicated to pay tribute to Isaac Hayes a day after his death.

==Controversy==

The comic caused some controversy upon its launch over its mature content and pro-choice themes.
It also received some complaints over the use of "nigga" and "faggot" occasionally as derogatory terms.
