Remember all those lazy afternoons you spent in the company of the clever Kalia and the cowardly Shambu? The long train journeys which were impossible without the antics of Suppandi and the schemes of Tantri the Mantri? Take a trip down memory lane with Tinkle Origins, in which we celebrate the magazine’s legacy of simpler times by featuring the works created by its pioneering artists and writers.
The world’s most interesting and disastrous employee is back! This Suppandi collection will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Suppandi battles a giant mutant mouse, acts in a movie and rescues a damsel in distress. If this isn’t enough, he also becomes a magician’s apprentice and a goalkeeper. So, buckle up! Suppandi is going to take you for one rib-tickling ride!
Suppandi is back! The lovable goof with the literal mind has been quite busy since you last met him. He is now going deep sea diving, fouling robbery attempts and even working as a night watchman. With appearances from Little Suppandi and Super Suppandi too, this is one collection you don't want to miss out on.
Tantri is a minister at the court of King Hooja in a town called Hujli. He is the man who protects the King from danger and acts of treason—he is also the man behind them! That’s right. Tantri the Mantri wants to become the King of Hujli, by hook or crook. Alas! All his plans to dethrone Hooja backfire on him in the most comical and bizarre ways. But this mantri is relentless and will try any trick, no matter how ludicrous, to get his hands on the crown.
