The suggestion to work in comics in Bengali came from the editors at Deb Sahitya Kuthir publishing house.
First published in 1962,[3] Handa-Bhonda became an instant success and continues to be printed in Shuktara every month as of September 2006.
The stories feature two young boys, one slender (Handa) and the other bulky (Bhonda).
They have a paternal uncle who has a bad temper, Handa always uses his brains to avoid work being given to him by his uncle (Pisemosai in Bengali) Handa also often tricks Bhonda in doing stuff that would get him a scolding or thrashing from pisemosai but at the end of the story he invariably ends up getting beaten himself.
Handa Bhonda has gained popularity and is still read by thousands of readers and lovers of comics.
