Old tinkle comics
Tinkle also has a new comic called ‘WingStar’ which brings the idea of a female superhero into the mainstream and also centralises Mizoram for upcoming generations (the state from which the character originates) – a part of the country that remains largely ignored. Everyone has a role to play in the world despite however weird you are.” The idea behind this cartoon from the editor’s point of view is that “it’s okay to be weird or an oddball, that’s who you are. In ‘Super Weirdo’, the super-heroine Aisha has the power to sense other Super-Weirdos around her and breaks into a jiggle every time she finds someone like that around her. While the philosophy has remained the same, even with the death of Uncle Pai, Tinkle is keeping with the times and introducing more characters to relate to a larger audience base. The philosophy that Tinkle rests on is teaching something to kids in a fun way so that they have some wholesome messages to take home. While Tinkle is available in three languages other than English, Amar Chitra Katha is available in 20 regional languages across the nation. Uncle Pai worked hard to make his comics accessible to all, not only regarding characters, who all come from different backgrounds but also in terms of language. While a small percentage of the urban population recalls reading DC, Marvel, Archies or Calvin and Hobbes as children, the larger part of the population rests its childhood on the hilarious antics of Suppandi or the retelling of great Indian tales in Amar Chitra Katha.
Ltd., which owns Tinkle, claims it sells almost 3,00,000 copies a month, making it the highest selling English comic in India. Open Magazine reports that Manas Mohan, the CEO and publishing director of Amar Chitra Katha Pvt. The creator of the popular Tinkle Digest and Amar Chitra Katha, and the lovable man who answered all the letters addressed to him, created a huge comic culture in India engaging a large segment of the audience.
