Origin[edit | edit source]

Suppandi made his debut in Tinkle No.27 in January 1983.[1] Unlike other Tinkle characters, he was not originally conceptualized by the creators of the magazine. He was born out of 3 narrative stories sent by Sameer Salman from Trichy. The concept was rendered into comic format in Tinkle studios, with the illustrations by one of the famous yesteryear artists, Ram Waeerkar.Suppandi, also, is most of the time shown as an ignoramus but faithful servant to his masters. His stupidity or his virtue of being an ignoramus has cost him many a job. Often suppandi is shown living in big towns and cities.

Ram Waeerkar carried on drawing for Suppandi till the early 2003, after which it is now being taken care by Ram Waeerkar’s talented daughter, Archana Amberkar.
