Dear ComiRades,
Many a Thanks for all of those who called/SMS' ed/Commented/Mailed me on my last News with Chennai Book Fair and the availability of Tamil Comics Books, Especially Lion Comics and Muthu Comics. It gives us great strength to know that many of you follow TCU when it comes to anything related to Comics. Thanks a Ton.
When TinTin celebrated his 80th Birthday, a New controversy broke out when a British Senator questioned the Character of TinTin while proposing that he is a Gay. Here are two articles related to that. By the way, TCU Has a complete story on TinTin & considering the number of Scans in this post, that part was relegated to future post. When we read the Deccan Chronicle article, TCU couldn't Miss the point when they got the comment from Mr Gaman (Remember Cheziyan's Comment in the previous post).

As Usual, Americans tried to catch with up with the Obama Factor and the fact that he is going to be crowned as the president of U.S of A Soon. Hence, they tried another marketing strategy by combining Spiderman (Imaginary Saviour) with Obama (The Supposedly Real Life Saviour). This was carried as a News in Kalaignar TV (A Tamil Channel from India) on 9th Jan in their evening News. TCU Will try to get that news as well.

The remaining scans are the usual weekly reviews from Indian Express where M/s Sneha Nagesh is doing a commendable job by writing regularly on Comics. However, have a closer look at the first scan from Deccan Chronicle for it gives another significant moment for the graphic novel segment in India. Mr Amit DasGupta has tried his new story in the graphic Novel style and that fact itself needs to be appreciated.

Of Late, the Number of ComiRades turning into Bloggers is increasing like anything. Here is another one: Mr Shiva from Chennai (Designer By Nature & Artist By Profession) has started his own Blog Named Art of Comics and hopefully will continue to enthrall us with his quality of writing. He, sometimes, comments under the pseudonym of Captain Tiger. Welcome Shiva to the exciting world of Comi-Blogging.
Another one, Our Beloved Chithira Puthaga Maha Rasigan, Has also started his own blog and TCU Expects a Lot from CPMR From U.S of A. Of Course, he has put only a test post, he already has a follower as well. Waiting for greater things from you Mr CPMR. Don't let us Down.
Laziness is Catching up with TCU & It can be gauged by the fact that in the last 5 posts, 4 of them turns out to be News Articles. This trend will be arrested very soon by a Intro Post. As usual, post your comments in the comments section. For those who want to Pen their thoughts in Tamil, Kindly Use the Option Provided in the Widget in the sidebar.
Thanks & Regards,
King Viswa.
