The Simpsons

Itchy is a fictional cartoon mouse featured in the long-running animated television series, The Simpsons. He is one half of the violent and popular cartoon duo, "The Itchy & Scratchy Show," a show-within-a-show that Bart and Lisa Simpson frequently watch.

Itchy's defining characteristic is his relentless and gruesome pursuit of Scratchy, a cartoon cat. He is depicted as a cunning and sadistic mouse who meticulously plans and executes elaborate schemes to torture and kill Scratchy. These schemes often involve highly imaginative and excessively violent methods.

His origins are generally unaddressed within the context of The Simpsons, adding to the satirical nature of the cartoon. He exists solely to inflict pain and suffering upon Scratchy, embodying the show's exaggerated and darkly humorous take on cartoon violence.

Itchy's unyielding dedication to violence, coupled with his seemingly infinite resourcefulness in creating lethal contraptions, has made him a memorable and darkly comedic figure within The Simpsons universe. He serves as a parody of classic cartoon rivalries, amplified to absurd levels of gore and mayhem.
