 Growing up in the 1980s, |was one of the kids
caught up in the wonder of 7inklecomics. The
antics of Kalia the Clever (if meddlesome)
Crow and the wit of Nasruddin Hodja kept me
entertained. And |was enthralled by the letters from
young readers that were lovingly answered by Uncle Pai,
founder-editor of Amar Chitra Katha and Jink/ecomics. To me
then Uncle Pai was no less than Santa Claus. He encouraged kids
to take part in contests, write stories and to write to him.
At that time, there was no Internet or self-publishing, so it was a big
deal to see one’s name published in a national magazine. Especially if
one were between / and 14 years of age! What’s more, there were prizes too—
| cashprizes, books, stickers, labels, etc. Even though |was too diffident to write to Uncle Pai, |felt
| likelwasa part of the Jinklefamily.
| Andone fine day, years later, |felt brave enough to walk into the Jink/e office to ask for a job,
| hoping to meet Uncle Pai. Alas, Uncle Pai had left for the day. And |would only meet him three years
: ee
| __ later. He was Editor Emeritus, 7ink/ewhile Luis Fernandes, ee ee
a one of the first writers on Team Jinkle, was the Editor. Luis SAW THE DEMON AGAIN. BUT THE

stories and a smile both benevolent and happy.

Over the next few years, he helped

Why we call th
NEWSPAPERS
When newspapers first appeared,they were not called newspapers but
- the letters NSEW were printed at the top of the paper. The letters stood
for North, South, East and West and were meant to show that the information
printed in the paper had been collected from all over the world.
One day, the owner of a paper rearranged the i
letters N-S-E-W to N-E-W-S and printed them at the top of the page.
Now people hada word they could pronounce and ‘news’ became
a popular word. Thatishow we got the words ‘news’ and’ newspaper:

in a river in Gujarat. As the people screamed and shouted
for help, one of them—a boy of 13 years—named Pampabhai
Macchi saw another boat tied near the bank. But the
boat had no oar. Pampa grabbed an oar from the sinking
boat, swam over to the other boat and rowed it back
to the scene of the disaster. He was able to rescue
27 passengers. The plucky lad was one of those who were
awarded the National Award for Bravery for the year 1980.

If there is a benchmark for editing, Kamala Chandrakant
exceeded it by miles and more! Her editing skills were only
matched by her flair for writing. People who've had the fortune
of working with her describe her as a very stringent editor. She
took a scholarly approach to both writing and editing. No word,
punctuation mark or piece of information passed her eye without
being verified. Absolute accuracy and authenticity was her motto.
Her ability to catch errors was such that other writers were
always cautious while presenting information to her—lest they
made a mistake and got told off! That is quite understandable
as she could often be seen cursing out loud while correcting
sentences! A brilliant writer and editor herself, she expected
nothing less from others.

| ‘SUMO’ WKESTLEKS OF JAPAN
There are different kinds of wrestling in various parts of
the world. In Japan, there is Sumo wrestling. The average
Japanese man is small and slender, but Sumo wrestlers
are huge and fat. They are so fat that they cannot tie
their own shoe laces. Their stomachs get in the way.
When the referee gives the signal, the two wrestlers
move forward and grab each other. Then they struggle
like two elephants, each trying to throw the other down.
The one who touches the ground first with any part of
his body, except the feet, is the loser.The floor of the
ring in which they fight is covered with sand.
Sumo contests are very popular and it is very difficult
to get tickets for the actual fights,

JUMBER .1’M AN OFFICIAL )Ae
DEA NOW, FOLKS,

n 1980, when Jink/ewas first published, the creation of

comics involved a lot of handwork. There were no computers
back then.
The creation of comics began with a writer pitching a story a
idea to the editorial team (image 1 & 2). The team included Mr LeTHeENTE
Anant Pai, who was the editor at the time. After the idea was irsSead.
approved the script was prepared (image 3). This script was
either handwritten or typewritten by the writer. The script
would then go back to Mr Pai for approval (image 4), after which
it was assigned to an artist (image 5).
The artist would draw the illustrations for the comic, panel
by panel, carefully marking the space for the speech bubbles.
The illustrations were initially made in pencil. Once they were
checked against the script for accuracy, the illustrations were
drawn using croquill* and black photo ink** (image 6 & 7. Minute
errorsin the illustrations at this stage were covered using white
ink and corrections were done over it.
After the art was complete and okayed, the dialogues were
filled into the speech bubbles by hand (image 8). This was done
using waterproof black photo ink and a calligraphy pen. Proofing
was done to check spelling and grammatical errors. At this stage,
corrections were made by sticking a piece of paper over the error
and writing the correct text on it.
After the lettering, a scanned copy of the illustrations was
- coloured using photo inks and a brush (image 9). Until the digital
method of colouring arrived, a palette of only 24 colours was
available to colourists to fillin the illustrations.
Finally, the handworked pages of art and dialogues, along
with the coloured scanned pages, were sent to the printer for
processing. The processing and printing took about a month.
That is why the /ink/eteam worked three months in advance to
avoid any unforeseen delay in publishing.
This is how 504” perfect packages of knowledge and
entertainment reached /ink/ereaders every month!

My young friends,
On August 15, we celebrate Independence day. What is Independence day ?
This was the question little Ramu asked his mother.
“It's the day we sent the British out of the country. The day we won our
freedom,” his mother replied.
‘Does that mean we can say what we like and do as we please now ?”
“Certainly not, Ramu. If everyone said what they liked and did as they
pleased our country would become very weak,’’ Mummy explained.
“Because we are independent we must co-operate with one another. We
depend on one another to remain free,’” added Father.
Ramu could not understand what they were trying to tell him. Then that night
he had a bad dream.
‘‘Eat,”’ said his stomach to his mouth.
“Why should | ? | am independent. I'll do as | like,’’ snapped his mouth.
Since his mouth refused to eat, his arms, his legs his whole body became
weak and wobbly.
Then there was a loud cry.
“Wolf ! Wolf ! Run, legs! Run !"" his mouth pleaded.
“How can we ? You refused to eat and make us strong. Now we don't have
the strength to run,” said his legs.
The wolf was close upon him.
Ramu woke up with a start.
At breakfast time he said, ‘‘Daddy, Mummy, now | know what you meant
when you said that our country would become weak if we didn’t co...co...
co-operate with one another ”’.
/'‘m sure you'll agree that if we did not co-operate with one another
our country would be in real trouble like Ramu in his dream.
Affectionately yours,

LUIS
FERNANDES
uis Fernandesis a
familiar name in the
house of Amar Chitra
Katha and Jinkle.
Luis served as the editor
of Tinkle from November
2007 till April 2011. He is the
co-creator of several iconic
Tinkle Toons, most notably
Kalia the Crow (the very first
Tinkle Toon) with Pradeep Sathe
and Shikari Shambu with Subba Rao (character design by
Vasant B. Halbe). He is also the creator of the Ina Mina Mynah
Mo series. As one of the original members of the Jink/eteam,
Luis’s imprint on the magazine can be seen even today.
His introduction to the world of comics came through a
former JinkleToon, whom we're all familiar with now—Ramu and
Shamu. When Luis first spotted Indian comics in the Times of
India, he was surprised but wasted no time in tracking down the
creator, Anant Pai, the then editor of 7ink/e. Mr Pai
was happy to have Luis on board and commissioned
him to write concepts for Ramu and Shamu.
Several years later Luis was part of the core team
of Tinkle. During the initial discussions surrounding
the creation of Jink/e, he was roped into the
editorial team. His previous work on Ramu and
Shamu made him the perfect candidate to work on
children’s comics.
Each character created by Luis has an interesting
story to tell. Kalia the Crow was inspired by a crow his family had
taken in. Ina, Mina, Mynah and Mo were inspired by Mr Halbe
and his four daughters.
Luis Fernandes’s work on the pages of Jink/ecannot be
overstated. Apart from these iconic Jink/e Toons, Luis’s stories
are known for their clever twists and witty dialogues.
From plotting the narrow escapes of Shikari Shambu to
showcasing the wit of Kalia the Crow, Luis Fernandes’s legacy in
the world of comics is one that will always be remembered.

There was a baby bear called
Baboocha. One summer day he
_felt thirsty. So he decided to go
~ to the lake. On the way, a big
bear met him. “Aren't you afraid
to go alone to the lake? There is
a wicked animal in there ready to
attack you.”
When Baboocha reached the,
lake, he had a frown on his face
_ and his right arm was raised. |
_ What he saw in the water gave §
him a fright. He went running to
his mother crying, “There is a_
wicked animal in the water. He ae

“No, he is avery friendly animal.

OURSELVES FOR NOTHING.
My young friends,
In the month of June we received over 12,000 entries for TTT-7. It made us very
happy. But some of the letters about TTT that we received made us very sad.
One child complained that though he had been sending all-correct entries for
every issue of Tinkle ever since the first issue, he had never won a prize. He
wondered if we give the prizes at all. If we do, why hasn't he won a prize even
once although he mails the entry form on the very day Tinkle arrives in the local
market?
I'll tell you why. We receive some 500 entries per day, of which 300 might
come by the morning post. The postman leaves the bundle of envelopes on the
receptionist’s table.You will agree that all the 300 envelopes cannot be opened at
the.same moment. They have to be opened one after the other. And we begin
with the one on the top. As we open each envelope we number the entries. This
means that even if yours is among the entries received on the very first day it
might be the 300th envelope we opened! So you must not feel unhappy if you
do not win a prize. After all you have had a great deal of fun working out the
solutions, haven't you?
Another feeling many of you share is that since Tinkle is published from Bombay
all the hundred prizes must be going to children from Bombay as their entries
would be the first to reach us.
This is not so. On an average only 25 to 30 children from Bombay receive the
prizes. The rest are won by children from other parts of the country including
distant places like Jamshedpur, Chandigarh and Dehradun.
Dnyanesh Nadkarni of Bombay suggested that we award a certificate to children
who send all-correct entries but don’t win a prize. We like the suggestion.
However, instead of a certificate, we felt you would prefer a colourful animal
mask specially designed for you. Wouldn’t you?
Affectionately Yours,

A. CHHOTU, THE DOCTOR

MEET THE CAMEL

 STORY TIME WITH
UNCLE PAI
nant Pai, the founder-
editor of Jinkle, was a
' \ true-blue storyteller.
~ |. Hewasalways on the
search for new ways to connect
with children. What he was
hoping to achieve was direct communication with kids through the
pages of Jink/e. He zeroed in on telling them stories in his own words.
But what kind of stories? ink/ewas already packed with folk tales and
stories of mystery, valour, fantasy and great adventure.
Mr Pai firmly believed that a child should be able to take away
something, even if it was simple laughter, from every story he told. So he
decided to tell them a small story that imparted a certain value. Along with
amoral, his stories also sparkled with wit and humour, which children
could easily identify with. At the bottom of the story, he would sign off as
‘Uncle Pai’. Thus was born the series ‘Story Time with Uncle Pai’.
As the popularity of his column grew, children began sharing with him
motivational stories they’d heard. These Uncle Pai promptly shared in his
column. With time, ‘Story Time with Uncle Pai’ also touched upon issues
that concerned children, such as the value of friends not just among
humans but animals too. On occasion, Uncle Pai also devoted the column
to showcasing poems sent by /ink/e's young readers.
‘Story Time with Uncle Pai’ ended up becoming a treasure trove of
tales that increased children’s self-confidence and self-esteem. As Mrs
> tilita Pai, Uncle Pai’s wife, later reminisced, Uncle Pai was a man who
> liked to tell stories mann se, dimaag se,pustakon se nahin(‘from the
mind, from the heart, not from books’).

My young friends,
Some 55 years ago, a group of young men
was climbing a mountain in Kashmir. They
were on their way to the sacred Amarnath
cave. As they trudged along, one of them
stepped on what he thought was a snow field.
Little did he suspect that beneath the soft
snow was a very deep crevasse. The snow
caved in and he would have fallen down,
down below to his death! But he was saved
because a rope bound himto the others.
When he thought about it later he realised
that if it were not for the unity and
co-operation of the team, he would never
have escaped with his life.
He realised how important every member,
big or small, of ateam was. And he never
forgot this. Not even when he became
Prime Minister of India. ‘“Who was this man?”
you will wonder. Yes, your guess is correct.
The man was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,
whose birth anniversary we will be
celebrating on the fourteenth of this month.
Affectionately yours,

Mrontelh. Uncle Pai

Remember all the summer holidays spent climbing trees,
hunting for fruits and kicking back holding a humble Tinkle?
The taste of the first mango of the season and the feeling
of receiving your Tinkle in the mail?
Tinkle takes a trip down memory lane with Tinkle Origins. In these
pages, we celebrate the magazine's legacy of simpler times by
featuring the works created by its pioneering artists and writers.
Spend some time learning Nasruddin Hodja’s notorious tricks,
chuckle at Jack the simpleton’s foolishness, and discover how to
outwit a mighty demon-this volume is chock-full of everything
you've always loved about Tinkle.
Welcome back to a world of wonder, laughter, learning and fun.
Welcome back to the Tinkle you've grown up with.
