Kolkata: Narayan Debnath, cartoonists, illustrators and writers, have occupied a valuable part of the Bengalis childhood since the ’60s.
The 91-year-old child who received the Padma Shri award this year still made a sketch of the cartoon and their prize to anyone visiting him at home.
Now, a cartoon fan, Agniva Chakraborty, has brought a calendar with Debnath – Handa-Bhonda creations, Batul The Great, Nonte-Phonte and Goga Koushik, along with many covers and illustrations that he had done in his long career as ACLOWS.
Professional cartoonists and illustrators.
“Debnath is not only a living legend, but the Bengalal generation grows reading the comic strip.
The calendar is an attempt to pay for tribute with his own creation,” Chakraborty said, who controls the calendar after taking some of the forgotten Debnath works.
This is a slightly known fact that the entire thriller series crime by Swapan Kumar was illustrated by Debnath.
Chakra-borty managed to get a cover on the calendar too.
“Too bad that no one is caring for writing this man’s biography with varied experience,” he said.
Chakraborty expressed his gratitude to the son of Debnath Tapas.
“He is very generous in giving a nod to a beginner like me,” said Chakraborty, a technical graduate who is now looking for a job.
However, he was sad to see Debnath Bed-Wilden when he went to show him the calendar he was carrying.
“Even in August, Debnath was fine and was very vigilant, and retained his undisputed sense of humor.
He drew a sketch of Bantul, one of his eternal characters, and served him to me.
I went to him to ask his permission to request his calendar permission .
But last week I was sad to see him Bed-Ridden, “Chakraborty said.
