<p>The exhibition will be on from February 26 to March 12, 10 a m to 6 p.m, at the Institute’s Indian Cartoon Gallery, Midford House, Midford Garden, off MG Road, near Big Kids Kemp. <br />Probably the only Indian cartoonist who worked with British newspapers for almost 16 years, and certainly the only one in the world who changed his name and signature half way into his career! That was Abu Abraham. <br /><br />A principled political cartoonist who "walked tall while others crawled", Abu was born on June 11, 1924, in Mavelikara near the Malabar coast. He was a child prodigy. He began his professional career in 1946 with The Bombay Chronicle as reporter, and also drew cartoons for Blitz as a freelancer. <br /><br />After leaving the Express in 1981, he began to syndicate his work to several newspapers. His philosophical strip, ‘Salt And Pepper’, ran for almost 20 years in several publications. Abu passed away on December 1, 2002.</p>
