The first time I saw his work Vikas Sabnis was a shy stripling justout of his teens as fragile as a stick figure at 6 feet 2 inches ThenI saw his submissions and I felt a curl of excitement Here was an

artist whose drawings evidently said whatever he was too shy toverbaliseHis lines were strong and confident his subject matter very clearindeed his grasp of issues impeccable so that complexity becamesimolified into farce ndash and there we had our cartoonist That was workwas 33 years agoSince then Vikas has continued to delight readers and consumers ofnewspapers and magazines and websites ndash and students who want tolearn how he does it He has addressed people all over the country on thesubject has conducted workshops that have taken him overseas beenpublished in Germany and the US ldquoPeople appreciaterdquo he says simplyHis inspiration has been Mumbai and from there to Mumbhai thesubject of this e-book was a short step This is the work of a man wholoves the city and understands it and the sometimes tortuous routetowards development that it has takenThe Afternoon Despatch and Courier is delighted to publish his workof the past one year from March 25 2011 to March 25 2012 in e-bookform This is a first for him and a first for us And we are delighted withthe result

We hope you enjoy it too

Iam an old school old-fashioned cartoonist I believe in the brush and ink method in takingpains manually infilling in tiny details myself though now I hear many cartoonists preferthe mouse I donrsquot do computer animation or illustration I believe in cartoon journalism

where one frame is equal to an editorialMy journey to where I am today started in 1968 when Bal Thackeray who was editingMarmik saw one of my cartoons there He appreciated it Then in 1971 again someone saw mywork in the Sakal Mumbai edition Since the lsquosomeonersquo was the managing director PK Roy ithelped that he liked it enough to ask me to do a daily cartoon I still remember the exact date ndashDecember 16 - and the subject was the Bangladesh war Started with Marmik edited by BalThackeray who saw it and appreciated it You could say that my journey as a daily politicalcartoonist began from thereThen came Blitz Marathi edition in 1972 Till then English cartoons were being translatedinto Urdu and Hindi but Vinayak Bhavik the editor of the Marathi edition told Rusi Karanjiathat Marathi cartoons had to be exclusive and they should be done by someone who knewMaharashtra well That was another milestone for meAround that time I became a stopgap cartoonist for English blitz then a regularLok Prabha of the Indian Express followedI was a staff cartoonist for Mid-Day from 1979 But I also worked for FPJJanmabhoomi and of course later the Afternoon Despatch and Courier I havealways been a freelancer always busy I love my workMumbhai has always been around though earlier his problems were differentTwenty years ago he would have been celebrating the allotment of a telephonefrom MTNL qwondering how to get a second cylinder for his kitchen Now he isworried about corruption admires Anna Hazare and complains about paying Rs100 per kg for farasbi (French beans) But he is a survivorTwenty years from now I will still be doing cartoons

The first time I saw his work Vikas Sabnis was a shy stripling justout of his teens as fragile as a stick figure at 6 feet 2 inches ThenI saw his submissions and I felt a curl of excitement Here was an

artist whose drawings evidently said whatever he was too shy toverbaliseHis lines were strong and confident his subject matter very clearindeed his grasp of issues impeccable so that complexity becamesimolified into farce ndash and there we had our cartoonist That was workwas 33 years agoSince then Vikas has continued to delight readers and consumers ofnewspapers and magazines and websites ndash and students who want tolearn how he does it He has addressed people all over the country on thesubject has conducted workshops that have taken him overseas beenpublished in Germany and the US ldquoPeople appreciaterdquo he says simplyHis inspiration has been Mumbai and from there to Mumbhai thesubject of this e-book was a short step This is the work of a man wholoves the city and understands it and the sometimes tortuous routetowards development that it has takenThe Afternoon Despatch and Courier is delighted to publish his workof the past one year from March 25 2011 to March 25 2012 in e-bookform This is a first for him and a first for us And we are delighted withthe result

Iam an old school old-fashioned cartoonist I believe in the brush and ink method in takingpains manually infilling in tiny details myself though now I hear many cartoonists preferthe mouse I donrsquot do computer animation or illustration I believe in cartoon journalism

where one frame is equal to an editorialMy journey to where I am today started in 1968 when Bal Thackeray who was editingMarmik saw one of my cartoons there He appreciated it Then in 1971 again someone saw mywork in the Sakal Mumbai edition Since the lsquosomeonersquo was the managing director PK Roy ithelped that he liked it enough to ask me to do a daily cartoon I still remember the exact date ndashDecember 16 - and the subject was the Bangladesh war Started with Marmik edited by BalThackeray who saw it and appreciated it You could say that my journey as a daily politicalcartoonist began from thereThen came Blitz Marathi edition in 1972 Till then English cartoons were being translatedinto Urdu and Hindi but Vinayak Bhavik the editor of the Marathi edition told Rusi Karanjiathat Marathi cartoons had to be exclusive and they should be done by someone who knewMaharashtra well That was another milestone for meAround that time I became a stopgap cartoonist for English blitz then a regularLok Prabha of the Indian Express followedI was a staff cartoonist for Mid-Day from 1979 But I also worked for FPJJanmabhoomi and of course later the Afternoon Despatch and Courier I havealways been a freelancer always busy I love my workMumbhai has always been around though earlier his problems were differentTwenty years ago he would have been celebrating the allotment of a telephonefrom MTNL qwondering how to get a second cylinder for his kitchen Now he isworried about corruption admires Anna Hazare and complains about paying Rs100 per kg for farasbi (French beans) But he is a survivorTwenty years from now I will still be doing cartoons

Iam an old school old-fashioned cartoonist I believe in the brush and ink method in takingpains manually infilling in tiny details myself though now I hear many cartoonists preferthe mouse I donrsquot do computer animation or illustration I believe in cartoon journalism

where one frame is equal to an editorialMy journey to where I am today started in 1968 when Bal Thackeray who was editingMarmik saw one of my cartoons there He appreciated it Then in 1971 again someone saw mywork in the Sakal Mumbai edition Since the lsquosomeonersquo was the managing director PK Roy ithelped that he liked it enough to ask me to do a daily cartoon I still remember the exact date ndashDecember 16 - and the subject was the Bangladesh war Started with Marmik edited by BalThackeray who saw it and appreciated it You could say that my journey as a daily politicalcartoonist began from thereThen came Blitz Marathi edition in 1972 Till then English cartoons were being translatedinto Urdu and Hindi but Vinayak Bhavik the editor of the Marathi edition told Rusi Karanjiathat Marathi cartoons had to be exclusive and they should be done by someone who knewMaharashtra well That was another milestone for meAround that time I became a stopgap cartoonist for English blitz then a regularLok Prabha of the Indian Express followedI was a staff cartoonist for Mid-Day from 1979 But I also worked for FPJJanmabhoomi and of course later the Afternoon Despatch and Courier I havealways been a freelancer always busy I love my workMumbhai has always been around though earlier his problems were differentTwenty years ago he would have been celebrating the allotment of a telephonefrom MTNL qwondering how to get a second cylinder for his kitchen Now he isworried about corruption admires Anna Hazare and complains about paying Rs100 per kg for farasbi (French beans) But he is a survivorTwenty years from now I will still be doing cartoons
