Sabu: Revenge

Before reading this, read our previous Chacha Chaudhary review:
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.
