QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms - 8

Technorati Tags: ,

With reference to Indian comics, what follows the following ten comic books? And what is its significance?
1. Jack & The Bean Stalk
2. Little Red Riding Hood
3. Cinderella
4. The Magic Fountain
5. Aladdin & His Lamp
6. Pinocchio
7. The Three Little Pigs
8. Oz Ka Zadugar
9. The Sleeping Beauty
10. Himbala Aur Sat Baune

Had to start dry questions sometime or the other, so after a week of pics, back to more traditional quizzing.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Cracked after googling.

Yes, these are the first 10 issues of Amar Chitra Katha. All of these were reprints of Disney Comics. The 11th was Krishna, which was the first authentically Indian comic in ACK. Hence ACK 11 is often referred to as the first fully Indian comic!

As for Paddy’s request to post un-google-able questions, here’s my opinion. It really doesn’t matter if a person is googling the answer or not. Just the fact that he googled for it shows that he is interested, and due to the nature of these questions, he is now HOOKED! That was what we had always asked for, isn’t it?

  5. Even googling is an art of finding correct answers, not cheating as long as you are using internet. Afterall, what is google made of... and what is internet without search sites.
