If daily news and commentary can be likened to an enormous and often indigestible meal, the daily cartoon must surely be—at least in the Indian context—the pickle, something to make you take a sharp breath or smack your lips or, on the rare occasion, force a muted expletive.

There is nothing a Jesuit will not do, if it is humanly possible. He will cross the seas, cross deserts, climb mountains, live among aboriginals, learn strange tongues and write in them with authority. Carlos Valles and Paul Johnson are both Jesuits. Valles, a Spaniard, is a scholar in Gujarat. In 1980 he was chosen by the Gujarati Literary Academy for the prestigious Ranjitram Gold Medal.
