Tinkle Vol. 33 No. 612 - Review
Who doesn't love comics? Like seriously, who doesn't!!! There is actually nothing more exciting than reading a story, with all the pictures describing it. I somehow had lost touch with reading them, but now that I have, I don't want to stop. Tinkle lovers must still have their collection intact and just can't let go of them.
In India, Tinkle tops the list in the most Classic Indian Comics books and is followed by Chacha Chaudhary, Champak, and Panchatantra. Our eyes glitter, adults act like kids, and there are fights in the family to grab that fresh new Tinkle copy. I am sure every kid must have had copies of Tinkle Digest (now Tinkle Magazine) to read while traveling by train/buses during vacations to their hometown.
Tinkle is known for Shikari Shambu (SS) and Supandi, they are etched into our memories. The first comic I always read was SS and Supandi. SS with all his antics somehow manages to just turn out to be the hero in the end, and Supandi with his innocence leaves you in splits. The creative artists of all the characters need to be applauded for the intricate details that are still prevalent to date.
In this volume, SS once again gains all the accolades leaving Binodini in wonder, and Supandi is on his wits catching everything recorded to its literal sense. Dotty and the Albino Dragon give you a completely different perspective on the disappearance of the moon. Pranav and his Dadi tell us the importance of Karate and how everyone needs to learn this skill for self-defense. The real-life story of Dasrath Manjhi making a pathway for his fellow villagers, through the mighty mountain is beautifully depicted. A lot of educational information and fun activities are also interestingly included in the magazine, like our very famous game of Name, Place, Animal, Thing, Word Play, and Tinkle Times.
Tinkle has undergone a lot of changes from that time when I was a kid to the volume that I am currently reviewing, but the one thing that hasn't changed, is the essence that keeps it's readers completely hooked; be it, adult or kid there is always this enthusiasm to read these books and feel revived.
All the writers, editors, and designers put in a crazy amount of effort to live up to the people's expectations. And their creativity is just another level, you can't help but be surprised by the detailing and newness in each of the magazines.
