No one knows the art of Cartoonism better than RK.subtlity is his forte? There cannot be another RK. may his rest in peace.

Yes, true he was best at his work. RK Laxman also designed the illustration of his brother's RK Narayan's famous Malgudi Days.

He has illustrated all the novels of his elder brother RK. Narayan. Above all, he has seen the things through our eyes. That made him unique.

It is difficult to think of cartoons without Laxman in mind. My homage to the great cartoonist. 

• All his cartoons represent an average man's thoughts related to and dilemmas about the contemporary issues.

RK Laxman was a cartoonist with great insight in the subject of his cartoons. I remember reading his cartoon the first thing in the TOI every morning. Some of his cartoons are legendary. May his soul rest in peace.

RK Laxman made a niche of his own in the world of Cartoonism.. There cannot be any other cartoonist like RK Laxman.

He also had a fascination for crows and would draw them often. 

True. The reason is crow is a commonly seen bird.  Rk sees uncommon things in commonly seen things. Thats his uniqueness. I have seen his collection of drawings of crows.

He lampooned Nehru mercilessly and Nehru asked for the originals many times. Just now I saw an interview wherein he says he enjoyed drawing Nehru and the latter never took offence. Could Laxman have been allowed to do cartoons in today's times and leaders. 

Today's leaders and politicians are not as broad hearted as Pandit ji.

Also, RK Laxman has probably made a cartoon for every politician, also a tv show was aired based on his famous cartoons.

Many books and many TV shows came out on his works. No personaliy political or otherwise escaped from his sharp brush.

Great cartoonist. His Malgudi days drawings and asian paints drawings are very popular. First he rejected by jj college of arts and later  invited by them as a chief guest. He received padma bhusan and padma vibushan.

No reward is bigger for this virtuoso.

RK Laxman very cleverly analyzed political personalities with the use of his witty cartoons. He will always remain alive through his tremendous contribution.

Which why critics acclaimed him as.' Very few understood the satirical cartoonism. RK is one of them.'
