Continuing the booklet series of R. K. Laxman's inimitable cartoons, here is another volume peopled by all the familiar characters he delights in caricaturing; the smug minister, his submissive secretary, the harried businessman, the farmer in his rural setting which, if it is not flood ravaged, is drought-stricken and above all, the ubiquitous but self-effecting Common Man. The daily cartoons,featured in ‘The Times of India', are so ingrained a habit that readers in variably notice their occasional absence as when Mr. Laxman takes a vacation. This volume is yet another entertaining collection from the man who feels that, "Drawing cartoons will always be my job, even if i should be banished to Utopia."
