Artful Dodger is an iconic character from the seminal orphan-odyssey story "Oliver Twist" (Charles Dickens).
Dodger is a pick-pocket and a street-smart young wanderer and befriends Oliver as they work for the eccentric and odd Fagin.
Artful Dodger is a great spin-off potentiality character in literary history, and it is very easy to imagine stories just about him and extract him from the Oliver bond; perhaps even easier than extracting Watson from Sherlock Holmes or Patroclus from Achilles.
Roman Polanski recently released a modernized (high-resolution photography and digital marketability of cinematography) film version of "Oliver Twist" (Dickens). You might see from the presentation of progressive art tones in Polanski's Oliver that the story itself is fertile for comic book stylized visual branching, perhaps bringing out a street-smarts theme in storytelling for our era of urbanization-paranoia.
Let's think about stories just about the great and unusual Artful Dodger, a fellow who supplies Oliver with a surprisingly different brand of survivalism optimism:
"Dodger brings Oliver two pigeons and tells him the birds are trained to steal food items from the bazaar for them. When one pigeon is trapped by a cruel merchant and killed, Dodger exacts revenge by drawing customers to the merchant's rival competitors at the bazaar."
