Interesting, jocular and exciting are some ways we can describe comic
characters. Cartoon with a mindset are supposed to excite the
readers imagination and at all times are not funny. There are
several Indian cartoons like Tenali Raman which is caricatured as an
intelligent portrayal of most things. Then there are adaptations
from mythology like Hanuman or Ganesha where there are more adults
enjoying the movies than children.
The famous Tom and Jerry cartoon and the many escapades they have,
present the hyper adventure drama that is very typical of their
expression. Simple twists and themes say a lot about the story and
dialogues are seldom necessary. Even emotions like happiness,
sadness, excitements, guilt or negative tones are expressed with
facial expressions.
The cartoonist is a keen observer who captures the tendencies or
body languages and mannerisms which is treated as a skill of each
character. Waiting for more inspiration each appreciation makes a
cartoonist work more specifically in this art. Several cartoons like
Mickey-Minne or fairy tale versions of Cindrella, Snow white or
Mermaids are loved by kids.
The sketches of Malgudi days are a treasure for all generations.
These by itself express the simplicity that R K Laxman wanted to
project via his work. There are mythological comic strips which also
help to express our rich heritage that makes India diverse and
splendid.
