Whether it is the realm of politics, home affairs, civic issues or public transport, Sudhir Dar’s cartoons continue to regale us with their tongue-in-cheek humour.
You may enjoy these as well:
Denizens of Delhi would surely relate to these works of art better. But the underlying messages happen to be global in nature.
The likes of Sudhir Dar, R K Laxman, Mario Miranda and Shankar have always managed to keep us amused with their timely and witty cartoons. But for them, and but for authors like P G Wodehouse, our lives would be so very dull and dreary.

I not only love ‘tongue-in-cheek’ humor, but I enjoy watching to see who “gets it” and who doesn’t. That can be just as hilarious!

Same here, as an ex-Delhiite! Sure enough, he deserved a much wider audience.

Every time I have the occasion to view the cartoons of these masters, I wonder at their timelessness. Shankar’s political ones, R. K. Laxman’s “life” ,so also Sudhir Dar’s. Mario was in his own class.
Your presenting them is wonderful Ashok Kumarji. Thanks a ton.
