Funny Football
Now that
we're familiar with the main characters in the Chacha Chaudhary
comics, we're ready for another shitty story. This time, I thought
I'd review a more "Sabu-centric" story, because I
want to review some others later which don't include him, and
also because Sabu is my favourite character in the comics. That
doesn't make him any less shitty, though.
I had this
strange feeling of Deja Vu while reading the first panel of
this story. At first I dismissed it because, well, let's face
it... Chacha Chaudhary stories are all pretty much the same.
They follow one of three patterns:
1) Chacha
Chaudhary outsmarts people
2) Sabu whacks the shit out of people
3) Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu outsmart people by whacking the
shit out of them.
But I really
did have this Deja Vu thing happening... and then it hit me!
The way Sabu was sitting there eating his goddamn Peas Pulao...
I'd seen him sit exactly the same way before!
That's
right. Not content with being the comic with the shittiest drawings
ever, the lazy Chacha Chaudhary people are actually recycling
images from earlier comics!
Let's
move on to the middle panel in the comic. Try to ignore the
disturbing closeup of Sabu's crotch. The angry woman on the
right is Chacha Chaudhary's wife. She always has this huge rolling
pin in her hand, which I think is supposed to hint at the fact
that she beats Chacha Chaudhary into submission.
Now,
the setup to this story is simple - Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu
need to earn some money or they won't get to eat anything for
dinner. It's really impressive the way Chacha Chaudhary manages
to set up the plot right in the first page. Actually that's
not so impressive when you figure that the stories are just
three pages each.
