Narayan. The series was directed by Kannada actor and director Shankar Nag.Hey Abhi.

Mirchandani of IBH, who also took charge as the CMD of Tinkle late when it was formed, when most other publishers had rejected the concept.Later, he took on the role of writer, editor and publisher.The series went on to become a publishing milestone for the Indian comic book scene, selling over 9.On the other hand, Tinkle was an instant success with a circulation of 1.India, at its peek, by which the comic book Tinkle has managed to capture the imagination of children since 1.Eventhough, it is now published mostly in English, but at the times of its popularity, it had its presence in many Indian languages.The 5. Tinkle was released on Apr 1.In 2. 00. 7, Tinkle released 3 Collectors Specials featuring 3 of their flagship characters, Kalia, Suppandi, and Shikari Shambu.I noticed this set on newsstands when they were reprinted early 2.This special post, is to highlight the history of these Indian Genre characters, while introducing readers to this new collectibles.The Adventures of Kalia The Saviour of Big BaanThe first Tinkle Special, collects some of the favourite stories of Kalia, the Crow, which is considered a flagship character of Tinkle magazine.Kalia, the Crow made its first appearance in a comic in the first ever Tinkle issue on Dec 8.Luis Fernandes, the current Editor of Tinkle magazine, and an integral member of the Tinkle creative team, originally proposed this idea, amidst mixed reactions from his fellow colleagues, because of the sheer reason that Indian customs often consider Crow as inauspicious.But, Anant Pai, along with another colleague, Subba Rao supported Fernandes in his idea, which motivated him to utilise the help of artist Pradeep Sathe to give his idea some form.The duo went on to create other support characters like Doob Doob, the Crocodile Chamataka, the Jackal and Keechu Meechu, the Rabbits.Sathe believed that the cartoonisation of an animal should not result in distortion of the animals anatomy, which made his drawings less cute.Eventually it turned out to be an USP for the series, contributing to its stardom.Kalias storyline are typically depicted as him saving his friends and even strangers, sometimes like Keechu Meechu, Elephants, from the claws of the carnivorous Doob Doob and Chamataka.While the majority of the fans felt this as a heroic act, there were some fan base who rated Kalia as interfering busybody, snatching away food from the animals, for whom the nature had intended them as a rightful prey.The justification for this criticism, was soon felt by Fernandes, and he quickly tried to base the new storylines in a different setting, where in some stories Kalia was even shown helping, and rescuing Doob Doob and Chamataka from several incidents.Sathe resigned from Tinkle in late 1.Kalia again. Fernandes continued writing stories for a few months, after which new writers and artists kept the flag flying high, which has resulted in the Kalia series lasting till date, completing 2.Dec 0. 8. C D Rane, the current artists of Kalia, adds Ive been illustrating this character since 1. Second Copy 8 1 1 0 Final Incl Serials And Keys . Kalias creator Pradeep Sathe left for another job.When I first started drawing Kalia, I kept to the original construction and the way in which he had been formed.After noticing crows, Ive made Kalias beak and wings longer and if I had to draw him in a crowd, Id make him different by putting expressions on his face.But, the debate of Kalias existence is still a hot topic, which recently prompted a group of fans, to create an exclusive website which features a web comic relating to the Death of Kalia.More than the humour associated to it, it goes to show that Kalia has made an impact in many childrens memories, which they carry over even after their teens, and try to impart it to their kids, and so on.Tamil Comic fans, will remember that Kalia used to be a regular feature in the erstwhile Tamil Childrens Magazine Poonthalir, where it was named as Kaakai Kaali.No wonder it continues to remain one of my favourite comic characters ever to have been released in India.Thus, this Special collection turns out to be a favourite pick for anyone who shared the same passion.Kalia in Poonthalir as Kaakai Kaali2 The Adventures of Suppandi The Village SimpletonThe second Tinkle Special, collects some of the favourite stories of Suppandi, the village simpleton, which is considered the most famous among the lot offered by Tinkle.Suppandi made his debut in Tinkle No.Jan 8. 3. For a change, he was not originally conceptualized by the creators of Tinkle.He was born out of 3 narrative stories sent by P.Varadarajan from Chennai makes me proud, as I a Chennaite too.The concept was rendered into comics format in Tinkle studios, with the illustrations by one of the famous yesteryear artists, Ram Waeerkar.Even though, stories of dim wits, always had an universal appeal, Suppandi fans would not describe him as a fool.He is more a simpleton, who gets into troubles because he insists on thinking for himself, then being dictated by the orders of his master.Best example, is in the very first story, where his mistress wants him to call a doctor as she has a fever, but instead of following orders as any other domestic help would, he gets a brainwave and decides to treat her himself.The consequences of course are, as expected, disastrous.No wonder, Suppandi was an instant success with Tinkle readers, as they were able to relate him to every day common man found in their locality no pun intended.Readers were amused and Tinkles editor Fernandes states that they started receiving a lot of story contributions from Suppandi fans, and the editors realised that the simpleton with the funny, rectangular head, had come to stay.Suppandi is loved across genre, by childrens, teens, and adults.Ram Waeerkar carried on drawing for Suppandi till the early 2.Ram Waeerkars daughter, Archana Amberkar.Archana adds Ive given my identity to the character, though its a challenge to continue my fathers work.Ive given him a squarish head and rectangular chin also the parts I like to draw best.The popularity of Suppandi even prompted Tinkle, to introduce an offshoot comic series based on Suppandis early life, titled as Little Suppandi.Tamil Comic fans, will remember that Suppandi was also featured in the erstwhile Tamil Childrens Magazine Poonthalir, where the comic strip was titled as Suppaandiyin Saagasam, which literally translates to the current title of Tinkle Special.Need I have to say that this is my favourite character too, as it goes without saying from the narration above.Suppandi in Poonthalir as Suppaandiyin Saagasam3 The Adventures of Shikari Shambu The Hunter with a differenceBy 1.Tinkle was already on its way becoming the most popular childrens magazine.There biggest rival that time was another children magazine named Target, run by Living Media.Unlike Tinkle, Target was more a narrative magazine, with a few pages of comics.Their flagship character that time was Moochwala by Ajit Ninan, which literally means a man with a moustache, who was a detective with penetrating eyes and a huge moustache.Vikas swarup q a by Antony Oldani.Published on Sep 2.
