IndiaWatch: The Times Of India celebrates the birthday of the recently late creator of an Indian comics industry;

A quiz show in Doordarshan had the participants answer question on tough Greek mythology but stutter for answering about simple Indian legends. That is when Anant Pai came up with an idea of captivating the minds with colourful comics worded in simple English so that the stories would be engraved in their minds forever.

Pai happened to be not only the editor of the comics but also the creator of many characters. Pai died of a heart attack early this year. It has certainly left a huge void in the circle of Indian comics. The Virgo man celebrating his birthday on September 17th may be no more but the online space is thick with fans pouring their wishes from all the corners of the country. A google doodle designed as a comic strip to aptly dedicate the day for Pai had many recollect the fond memories of growing up virtually with him.

StripWatch: Doonesbury steps up a notch.

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
