Chacha Chaudhary and Funny Football

Prepare yourselves - what you are about to see will change your lives. If you've never heard of Chacha Chaudhary, then it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the world of shitty comics. And by "shitty", I don't mean a comic that is mildly substandard or intentionally stupid. We're talking about comics that have actually existed in India since the 1960s. We're talking about comics that have no logical stories and the crappiest drawings ever. We're talking about comics that are seriously read as humour by some people... but for the rest of us are so shitty that they actually go full circle and become funny by virtue of their mindblowing shittiness. My friends, we're talking about Chacha Chaudhary.

At this point I could try and explain Chacha Chaudhary to you. But I would be unable to. There is Chacha Chaudhary the character, who has several traits which are supposed to make him heroic and admirable. But when you read a Chacha Chaudhary adventure and see the shittiness of the story, you end up laughing at it rather than with it. This is a good thing because it is much funnier that way.

Right. On to the first Chacha Chaudhary review on this site... Chacha Chaudhary and Funny Football.

Our main characters haven't arrived on the scene yet, but one of the first things you'll notice is that no one talks like normal people in Chacha Chaudhary's world. You could chalk it up to bad translation, but just look at the conversation in the first frame...

"Patku! How come at this age you ventured to play football?"
"This football is not for playing but to derive fun."

Anyway, Patku's friend kicks the football, only to find - HO! HO! - the football is made of solid rock. Whatever will they think of next?
