Detailed Description

Chackalethu John Yesudasan, also known as Yesudasan, was a political cartoonist from Kerala. On June 12th, 1938, he was born in Kerala. He has published three books, including "Aniyara," "Pradhama Dhrusti," and "Post Mortem," in addition to cartoons. His debut cartoon was published in 1995 in the renowned Kottayam publication "Asoka." However, he became well-known for his political cartooning in 1960 with the publication of 'Janayugam'. He experimented with political humour in his cartoon column for Janayugam, using a figure he created called Kittumman. He was given the chance to work with the well-known cartoonist Shankar, and he later started "Asadhu," "Cut-Cut," "Tuk-Tuk," and "Sadhu," in addition to being the editor of "Balayugam." Yesudasan spent most of his time at Malayala Manorama, where he spent two decades of his life cartooning for them.
