It was 10 years ago when Jatin Varma - the founder of Comic-Con India decided to publish Sumit Kumar's graphic novel - The Itch You Can't Scratch - and little did he know that he was making the biggest mistake of his life by launching the career of the man who would go on to make world-renowned and sophisticated characters like Ichhadhaari Tatti, Babu Gosha, and more.

You’re standing in a clothing showroom. Suddenly someone says "Bhaiya iss size mein XL hai kya?"

You're standing close to an unsupervised momo stall. Suddenly someone says "Oye, ek half-plate chicken momos diyo."

There are “2 types of Indian men” - the average Indian who looks like a Cylinder Boy and the fancy-looking Rajat Kapoor kinds. Based on our comic "2 types of Indian Men", today we discuss if the concept of Cylinder Boys is real or not -and why we shouldn't be offended when confused with an average Indian man. Presented through the individual lived experiences of Sumit Kumar, Rachit Varma, Anas Abbasi, Shikhant Sablania and Shibin Shaji.

You can read the comic under discussion at Bakarmax.
