From The Hindu Archives, March 19, 1926: “Doodle” annual

We extend our congratulations to our humorous contemporary ‘Doodle’ on entering its sixth year of publication, which it does with its current number. For these five years this weekly journal has been providing mirth and relaxation for the public through its amusing cartoons, humorous stories, pungent — but never offensive — skits and burlesques mainly dealing with Indian social life, farces, sharp pieces of witticism etc. The first number of its sixth volume which is now before us is decidedly an improvement on its predecessors in more than one direction. It is slightly bulkier than hitherto and its cartoons on local politics are as delightful as they are to the point. Its “curry and chutney” are indeed well-dressed and the “pickings” too are a choice selection. We have no doubt this pioneer venture in a branch of journalism which is yet to come into its own in India will receive the support and encouragement it deserves.
