1. Although The Times of India was and is still dumb at its best, it was R.

K Laxman s satirical cartoons which had


brought smile despite the sad state of the current affairs for the past fifteen years The above image of a common
man was perfectly depicted in them R.K Laxman was the younger brother of R.K Narayan who is the author of
Malgudi Days He began to illustrate the stories by his elder brother and then started drawing political cartoons at
The Hindu. Eventually, he moved to The Times o Although The Times of India was and is still dumb at its best, it
was R.K Laxman s satirical cartoons which had brought smile despite the sad state of the current affairs for the past
fifteen years The above image of a common man was perfectly depicted in them R.K Laxman was the younger
brother of R.K Narayan who is the author of Malgudi Days He began to illustrate the stories by his elder brother
and then started drawing political cartoons at The Hindu. Eventually, he moved to The Times of India in 1951 and
ended an illustrious career spanning than fifty years when he was affected by a stroke in 2003 Anthropologist Ritu
G Khanduri notes R K Laxman structures his cartoon news through a plot about corruption and a set of characters
This news is visualized and circulates through the recurring figures of the mantri minister , the Common Man and
the trope of modernity symbolized by the airplane Now, coming back to the book, it is divided yet amalgamated in
two parts First part on the right or odd numbered pages, the best I believe, is a satirical collection of cartoons based
on medical profession s topics like overcrowded hospitals front cover page , laboratory research, immigration of
doctors to North America and Europe, ailments, maladies, and politicians and criminals feigning illness The
collection is simply brilliant.Now, moving to the next part, the publishers thought that adding lame jokes to this
book would enhance the size quality of the book How wrong could they be Most of the jokes are pathetic and one
could not even smile wile reading them.Finally, I am enclosing with a famous cartoon of R.K Laxman on elections
and promises Kaustubh Dudhane
2. Although I already knew some of the jokes, the manner in which the R K Lakshman illustrates it with his crazy
sketches evokes good laughter. Vignesh
3. A great book fully comprised of funny cartoons and some really witty jokes.You would have heard a lot jokes like
this but that doesn t make the book boring.The caricatures, expressions and RK Laxman s perspective eyes give
you an amazing time with many incredibly witty, intelligent and funny doses of Laughter.For detailed reviews visit

4. A Dose of Laughter brings together a hundred cartoons by India s best loved cartoonist, RK Laxman, on medicine
and related topics Health, sanitation, pollution, adulterated foodstuffs and drugs all of these become the butt of
Laxman s jokes Along with the hundred cartoons are a hundred jokes, nearly all of them specifically related to
doctors This book is a very quick, very easy read Laxman s cartoons, barring the occasional one a lab coat clad

best loved cartoonist, RK Laxman, on medicine and related topics Health, sanitation, pollution, adulterated
foodstuffs and drugs all of these become the butt of Laxman s jokes Along with the hundred cartoons are a hundred
jokes, nearly all of them specifically related to doctors This book is a very quick, very easy read Laxman s
cartoons, barring the occasional one a lab coat clad gentleman, shaking hands with a monkey in a forest and telling
a friend who s standing alongside that the monkey had once been in their lab but has now retired , are mostly pretty
funny They run the gamut from comments on staff strikes in hospitals, pollution, drought, the heavy schoolbags
children bear, and but the cartoons that connect to politics are the best A pair of stick thin, decrepit villagers
happily assure a visiting politician that the drought hasn t affected them at all, because they ve always starved here
A sweeper, bearing a broom and dustpan, standing expectantly outside a top minister s office, is informed by a
minor official that all that isn t needed now it was only for the launching of the sanitation drive For me, the
accompanying jokes take away somewhat from the joy of Laxman s cartoons Some of the jokes are poorly chosen
in this day and age, Sardarji jokes are hardly considered correct , and a sequence of poor two line PJs around the
halfway mark is tedious I d have preferred this, even if it meant a substantially slimmer book or a book divided into
two parts, with the other devoted to another topic , to be devoted exclusively to RK Laxman Despite that, an
enjoyable read Madhulika Liddle
5. The rating is for the R.K.Laxman cartoons Most of the other jokes are pretty lame Quite a few of them were
familiar Go fo it if you have nothing else to read Guttu
6. As always Laxman is witty and amazing Ashok Rao
