If you grew up in India during the 90s or early 2000s, there is a high chance you spent your Sunday afternoons chuckling at the antics of a skinny, turban-clad jester named Bankelal .

Created by the legendary cartoonist (the same genius behind Chacha Chaudhary and Billoo ), Bankelal is the clever, lazy, and incredibly witty courtier of King Bhoj. Unlike the typical hero, Bankelal solves problems not with muscles, but with sharp sarcasm and hilarious logic.

Instead, spend a few rupees to buy the official digital copy. The jokes about King Bhoj’s stupidity and Bankelal’s clever tricks are worth every paisa.
