But after scouring information from old interviews online, we have discovered that they are a writer-illustrator duo based in Kolkata, who like to observe and plan during weekdays, do the actual work on weekends, and publish on Mondays, like clockwork. The creators choose to be anonymous, even after HarperCollins Publishers India published an edited selection of the comic between 20 in book form by the same name. Published anonymously every Monday since 2010, it is named after a popular Bengali saying – “Joley Koomir, Dangay Bagh”- meaning stuck in between two predators, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. ‘ Crocodile in Water, Tiger on Land‘ is a popular black and white comic strip illustrating satirical takes on societal and political issues in India, and sometimes the world. You can’t go wrong with a slogan like that. “Monday mornings are the best time of the week for insults”
