Karnataka - Bangalore   

New line of approach

BANGALORE: The book release function of “Wa Re Wah!”, a collection of cartoons, topics on cartooning and cartoonists, held at the Bangalore Press Club on Thursday, had an innovative launch.

Cartoonists P. Mohammed, Prakash Shetty, S.V. Padmanabha and Chandra Gangolli, and the author of the book Vasant Hosabettu drew cartoons on the spot. Later, magician Uday Kanathur put the cartoons in a magic box and made them vanish and lo and behold – pulled out the “Wa Re Wah” book from the box.

Earlier, addressing presspersons, Mr. Vasant Hosabettu said the book of 120 pages, priced at Rs. 50, contained 101 writings with 109 names of national and international cartoonists and 143 topics on cartooning.

The book contained addresses and telephone numbers of 26 eminent cartoonists from all over India, he said.

Mr. Mohammed, cartoonist of Deccan Herald and Prajavani, and Mr. Prakash Shetty, cartoonist ETV and Vartha Bharathi spoke.
