BTT #2 : Nonte ar Fonter Nanan Kirti (প্রথম পর্ব/Vol.1) by Narayan Debnath

 If late Satyajit Roy holds a special place in the Bengali teen-literature domain,then Narayan Debnath is definitely responsible for the revolution of the original Bengali comic-strips(fun-series) era. Among his best creations, we can take names like Batul the Great, Handa-Bhonda & of course,Nonte-Fonte! While introduction-wise Nonte-Fonte series was 3rd in the list,it was the most popular and widely circulated compare to it's two predecessors.
 After the series was well-received among the readers of Kishor Bharati,the publisher Patra Bharati started to publish compilations of those humor-strips in a book-form,under the title 'Nonte-Fonter Nanan Kirti' from the '80s onwards..
Today I'm posting the very first volume of this series..

Between,while the series' name doesn't include him,but without his presence I wouldn't became this much fan of Nonte-Fonte and he IS one and only keltuda ;o)). Also not to forget that glutton superintendent!

Without them, the fun becomes much less! Ain't my friends??

সত্যিই... জ্ঞান হবার পর থেকেই নারায়ণ দেবনাথের কমিকসগুলো চোখের সামনে দেখা আর পড়তে শেখার পর ওইগুলো পড়তে পড়তেই বড় হয়ে ওঠা এর জন্য ওনার প্রতি আমাদের কৃতজ্ঞতার শেষ নেই।
মনে হয় এমন কোনও বাঙালি নেই যিনি বাঁটুল, হাঁদা ভোঁদা ননটে ফন্টে পড়েন নি।

ND comics-র colour version গুলো আমার পছন্দ হয় না। এ নিয়ে স্বয়ং নারায়ণ দেবনাথও অসন্তোষ প্রকাশ করেছেন। তাই original চেহারার ননটে ফন্টে দেওয়ার জন্য ধন্যবাদ। :)
প্রচ্ছদটিও এখনকার মত computer-কৃত নয়... শিল্পীর নিজেরই করা।

Even today,original B/W with occasional Orange-colored strips are far superior than these colored strips!
