Lot of political debates going on in threads here after Mr Bal Thackeray's demise. He was once a cartoonist too. After reading a couple of news reports it appears he was considered a fairly good cartoonist.

We used to call the room the library, because it was filled with books that had over the years come for reviews. People moved in and around it all the time, Mr Thackeray was never disturbed. And he did not talk much, he was both shy and timid. But we were all proud of him, two of his works had been included in a British anthology of cartoons. Laxman’s had not.
Mr. Thackeray left the paper in rage, or at least as much rage as his then gentle nature could command. An American newspaper had reproduced one of his cartoons and sent him a cheque.
The management had kept the cheque, claiming that the cartoon was its property. The management was South Indian, and hence his first attack, when he started Marmik, a sort of Marathi Punch, was against the South Indians.
