Shikari Shambu Tall Tales

By Multiple Authors

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.
