In dieser Angelegenheit

"Come on board, and grab a blanket and a pillow as you join Tinkle’s laziest Toon, Shikari Shambu, on an adventure he did not sign up for.
Who is Shikari Shambu?
Shikari Shambu is everything he doesn’t appear to be. Just like his name. Although known as Shikari, he is no hunter. He is a conservationist and a wildlife expert. People turn to him in times of crises. Whether it is about rescuing a wild animal or catching a dangerous criminal, this forest ranger is everybody’s go-to guy. But, lo and behold, Shambu is no brave heart. He is secretly petrified of animals and has no love for adventure. All he seeks is a good, fluffy pillow to sleep on and a day that ends with a satisfied tummy. But trouble always finds its way to Shambu and luck finds him a way out. And the combination of the two creates a hilarious mad-venture! Created by former Tinkle editor, Luis Fernandes, artist V.B. Halbe brought this classic Toon to life. Currently, Tinkle’s Art Director, Savio Mascarenhas, illustrates the series.

Tinkle Tall Tales Magazine Description:

Tinkle started as a fortnightly children’s comics magazine, in 1980. Under the guidance of Editor-Founder, Anant Pai, the brand soon evolved to embody its tag line, ‘Where Learning Meets Fun’.
At that time, Tinkle was one of the first few children’s comics magazines with Indian content. Till then, children had been reading syndicated foreign comics – Archie, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician – translated into Indian languages. In Tinkle, children could read folktales from all over the world as well as stories revolving around Tinkle toons like Suppandi, Shikari Shambu, Tantri the Mantri, Kalia the Crow, many of which soon evolved into icons.
Over the years, newer characters have stepped into Tinkle’s pages. These include Starky and Crusty from Sea Diaries, Butterfingers and the Defective Detectives. Besides comics, the magazine also engages readers with several educational non-fiction pages including puzzles, do-it-yourself crafts, solve-it-yourself mysteries, knowledge features on a wide range of subjects, and contests.
Though intended as a magazine for children between 8 and 14 years of age, Tinkle’s reader base extends far beyond. Every month, across the length and breadth of the country, families eagerly look forward to the magazine; they value it because it not only entertains their children but also enhances their knowledge. Owing to Uncle Pai’s efforts, Tinkle is also welcomed by educators and school principals, and thus holds the position of a recommended magazine for wholesome edutainment.
