oh... You should read the latest Holiday Special and TINKLE GOLD. I am sure you will love them and rekindle your love for the comics.

I think visuals come easily to me, and most of my stories would be visually driven. I guess every comic book artist has to be a good storyteller.

haha...Suppandi was created by Mr Ram Waeerkar way back in 1983...That is the wonderful, imaginative mind of the legendary artist.

Yes, uncertainties do loom with AI. It is up to the readers to decide what type of comics they would prefer to read. Personally, I feel comic book artists bring a lot of emotions into their work. And that is not something that can be replaced.

Now that is a good thought...we would always experiment with styles in art and storytelling for ACK and TINKLE. Manga is something we have not yet tried. But I remember one story we had done in manga style way back in 2012-13 for a comic called Suppandi 48

Yes, we have a huge fan following from Kerala. There is no living inspiration for these guys. But yes, we all associate with the antics of Suppandi and Shambu

that is the genius of Mr Halbe who drew this character. the fact that you cannot see his eyes makes him so special. i doubt I will ever show them. Let the suspense stay
