Shishir Bhattacharjee's cartoons

Shishir Bhattacharjee’s paintings are distinctly apart from his contemporaries. He has earned a reputation for the satire he portrays through his paintings and cartoons. According to art critic, Abul Mansur, ‘Shishir’s macabre interpretations of the social condition in which he lives in, his agonised sarcasm directed towards the godfathers of the society and his keen sense of wit and jest have given his paintings a distinct artistic vocabulary of his own. It is also true that his cartoons draw heavily from his paintings, which are very natural.

Ranabi (Bengali: রনবী) or Rafiqun Nabi (Bengali: রফিকুন্নবী)(born 1943) is a notable artist and cartoonist from Bangladesh. His full name is Rafiqunnabi. In all of his works, he usually signs as Ranabi, Ra is the initial for Rafikun in Bangla. Ranabi's most famous creation is Tokai, a character symbolizing the poor street boys of Dhaka who lives on picking things from dustbins or begging and having a knack of telling simple yet painful truths about current political and socio-economic situation of the country straight away.

Tokai burst into the scene in 1977. It first appeared in an issue of May of that year, remembers R Nabi. He also shed some light on its ancestry, he says, "it was fashioned after a boy named Mokka of Narinda, Dhaka." This is where R Nabi himself spent his childhood. He remembers how a chubby little boy, who was known for his intelligent quips, earned a nickname Motka, "but he himself used to pronounce it Mokka, as he was just three or three and a half at that time," explains R Nabi.
