BTT #5 : Bagha-r Kirti!!

  • Original Strip : TIGER
  • Author & Artist : Bud Blake
  • Original Run :  1965 - 2003
 This US humor strip(sunday version) was introduced with the Bengali comic fans in the late '70s through Anandamela - the famous teen magazine - as Bagha(বাঘা)!! The translation was apt and that simply enhanced the fun-quotient of this popular strip!It has been siad that,at its peak, it was published internationally in some 400 newspapers!!
 Some names were simply catchy like Tiger(Bagha)'s stupid kid brother Punkinhead was renamed as Haru(হারু), that dog Stripe as Kutua(কুতুয়া) etc! :)
 In this post I have compiled 20 such sunday strips from my little collection of AMs from the period  '79 - '84.
And I will request Indranathda,the fellow blogger and one of the BTT members,to come forward with the rest of the Bagha's strips from his huge collection of AM from the said period so we can enjoy more of these strips! :)

বাঘা!! বাঘা কিন্তু আমার দারুন লাগতো। এক সাথে পেয়ে ভালো লাগছে।
ধন্যবাদ। :)

@Walker: ok...and the first appearance of Bagha in AM,as far as I know,is on 18th July,1979 issue i.e. when AM became smaller one!

@RANJAN: Thanks for such a nice comment :)...if you liked Bagha,then be happy to hear that more is coming!
