These cartoons are by S Phadnis. There is a distinctive style to Phadnis that I like. Simplicity in his choice of situations, colours , style of illustration is the Phadnis trademark. They are very INDIAN and true to life. The film gossip obsessed baby sitter /or young mother?; the resourceful couple on the road turning adversity to advantage; the religious women who are at 'home', riding pillion( hamara bajaj - buland bharat ki buland tasveer style) are all vignettes of India in retro style.
