You can also add the ajit ninan toon that used to appear in the now defunct mag 'target', detective moochwala and the fabulous 'gardhad das' by neelabh & jayanto. "In this cacophony of blood, gore, cleavages, dumb humour and now television and the internet, Tinkle stood its ground and dutifully continues to educate and entertain the generations." - I totally agree with your statement. Yes, Tinkle was a delight and it still is!! I loveeee shikari Shambhu and Supandi. I really loved reading about the adventures of Shikari Shambu, Suppandi, Tantri the Mantri, Kalia the Crow, Pyarelal, Nasruddin Hodja.Infact my brother, another equally avid reader of Tinkle, used to tell the antics of Supandi to an eager audience in our summer holidays in Calcutta! So much was Supandi popular that when my boudi was expecting a child, someone in the family -I don't remember who now - wanted to name the child Supandi! I'm so glad you have written about them. Buddy there is a great Blog called the comic project. Supandi and Nasruddin Hodja being my fav characters. I am great fan of Indrajal comics and of course tinkle. Does someone remember Bahadur?Īh! bahadur only reminds me of the curves of Bela. It's a sad fact that the characters like Nagraj and those created by Pran - Chacha Chaudhary, Billoo, Pinki etc., are far more recognised and read. I genuinely feel that that they can do much better with their existing resources. A trip down the nostalgic lane would have perhaps contented veteran Tinkle fans like me. In this cacophony of blood, gore, cleavages, dumb humour and now television and the internet, Tinkle stood its ground and dutifully continues to educate and entertain the generations.īut Tinkle's 25th anniversary special edition didn't live upto my expectations. It has stubbornly withstood the onslaught from beyond the borders as well as the cheap and tasteless Indian fare - which ranged from the gross to the utterly disgusting. Published by India Book House, who also have another institution to their credit - Amar Chitra Katha, Tinkle hasn't really got it's due. Notable mentions include Sanjiv Waeerkar (a relation of Ram's?), VB Halbe, Prasad Iyer, Pradeep Sathe and Archana Amberkar. I loved the way he drew the eyes, especially of animals. A dedicated team of cartoonists and able story tellers (most often readers themselves) led by Uncle Pai made their way into the hearts of millions. Shikari Shambu, Suppandi, Tantri the Mantri, Kalia the Crow, Pyarelal, Nasruddin Hodja, Raghu, Anwar and many more who I cannot presently recall became nicknames of kids in school. In this quarter of a century Tinkle has added a lot of sparkle to a lot of lives. A scientist by education, but an entertainer by vocation - Anant Pai, aka Uncle Pai - initiated a comic magazine called Tinkle. The desi stuff wasn't much to boast about (of course, as always there were exceptions). During those days of idyllic endeavours it was usually the American fare, which captivated minds of a generation just out of their diapers (now reading and writing blogs). Kids played real games requiring physical exertion. Television didn't air Cartoon Network, cyber space was still confined within the peripheries of laboratories and MMS was a distant dream. It was the wee years of the nineteen hundred and eighties.
