The cartoon is, ideally, word and picture, it is a talking picture, with its words chosen with poetic exactness. Even when the cartoon is a mere visual, deep down within it there is the experience of the word, and it is this experience that it ultimately communicates. The Indian psyche, despite the malnourishment of the Indian body, even despite low literacy, is refined. The Indian experience is so compelling that it precludes trivialisation. And we have an inheritance which could embody a new imagery, and make the Indian cartoon a thing of great serenity.
