Kittu Cartoons

When the cartoon forum at Infosys Chennai faced closure over IP concerns, I created my own original character — Kittu. These strips ran from 2005 through 2010, covering everything from office life and Bollywood to estimation, rain, and real estate.

Kittu on the road not taken — with the subtle humour that readers said made these cartoons worth forwarding.

Kittu at cruising altitude — because aviation always gives us something to think about, especially from the middle seat.
