This is portrait of Mario Miranda - one of India's world-famous cartoonist - who passed away yesterday by my uncle Sankaranayarana Sattiraju who draws pen portaits. There are few Goans whose works I ardently collect - Remo Fernandes, Frank Simoes, Dom Moraes and of course, Mario Miranda. Mario's cover in the 80s and 90s wa...s a sure-fire best-seller - and he has immortalised many with his characteristic style of voluptious lady secretaries, Late forefather's portraits hanging on the walls and wide-eyed and rotund and acutely obtuse people with beautiful dots giving a signature style. Mario would have been mighty pleased with this wonderful portrait by my uncle which is more perfect than Mario's rampunctious cartoons. I used to always think Mirinda the orange drink is named after Mario Miranda! Long Live Mario!
