mishra Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Rest In Peace. I still remember looking for bottom corner of the first page of Times of India. :hatsoff: Probably one of the best cartoonist in world. Sad loss. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Eminent-cartoonist-RK-Laxman-dies-at-94/articleshow/46021781.cms
Cricket_Hacker Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Wrong subforum. But RIP.His cartoons were one of the first things you spotted in TOI
coffee_rules Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 RIP , Mr. R.K Laxman! http://www.rediff.com/news/report/rip-rk-laxman-common-man-just-lost-its-first-citizen/20150126.htm Capturing the entire gamut of idiosyncrasies of Indian politicians in an innocuous newspaper box with his cartoons, R K Laxman immortalised the passive, hapless common man with an uncanny perception and sarcasm in a daily commentary on his life that brought smiles to millions. Every morning for over five decades, his fans waited for the Common Man who, with his signature checked jacket, dhoti, Gandhi-glasses and twin tufts of gravity-defying hair, watched life and politics in India. With his masterful strokes using the space of couple of inches, he exposed the hypocrisy in politics, leaving many a politician red-faced. The iconic cartoonist died in Pune on Monday after a prolonged illness at the age of 94.
