R. K. Laxman's 94th Birthday
A humorist and illustrator with an uncommon talent, R.K.
Laxman was one of India’s most celebrated cartoonists. His daily
political cartoon, You Said It, ran on the front page of The Times of
India for more than 50 years.
Laxman was best known for his Common Man
character, who he drew into his cartoons as a witness to the kinds of
hypocrisies and societal inequalities Laxman wanted to silently expose.
Today’s Doodle honors R.K. Laxman for his deft artistic hand and
sharp, incisive wit. Doodler Olivia Huynh in collaboration with Local
Googlers wanted to salute the legendary cartoonist by creating a Doodle
that payed homage to both Laxman (making sure to capture his wild shock
of hair and distinctive grin) and his most popular character, who
watches in his trademark checked shirt as the beloved illustrator
sketches him one more time.
