Kerala Cartoon Academy Events

In 1967, in Kochi, cartoonists Thomas, Shivaram, Mantri, and artist Raghavan Nair, among others, organized a gathering with the participation of cartoonist Kutty, who had come home from Delhi to spend his vacation. An organization called the All Kerala Humour Arts Council was formed then, and the gathering held that day was called the All Kerala Humour Arts Council Conference. They went to the famous Krishnan Nair Studio in Ernakulam, had a photograph taken, and got the news along with the photograph published in newspapers as the All Kerala Humour Arts Council Conference. (The photograph taken then is attached with this note.) That gathering was the first cartoonists’ gathering not only in Malayalam but in all of India. After that one-day event, the All Kerala Humour Arts Council became inactive. 1967ല്‍ കൊച്ചിയില്‍ കാര്‍ട്ടൂണിസ്റ്റ് തോമസ്, ശിവറാം, മന്ത്രി, ആര്‍ട്ടിസ്റ്റ് രാഘവന്‍ നായര്‍ തുടങ്ങിയവര്‍ ദില്ലിയില്‍ നിന്ന് അവധി ചിലവിടാന്‍ നാട്ടിലെത്തിയ കാര്‍ട്ടൂണിസ്റ്റ് കുട്ടിയെ പങ്കെടുപ്പ...
