& The South Indian Life Roshan Siddharth
The story of a comic that we South Indians whole heartedly can relate to. Instagram has over a billion users. And on an average day, a single user logs on to the app for 28 minutes. Only about five million to ten of them, assuming that they still use the app, remember what it was when it started: a cute little icon on a Samsung Corby/HTC desire/ iPhone 4 that helped the everyday dabble with photography.
The mammoth app has 95 million photographs uploaded daily and a billion influencers, actors, Instagram models, brands and bank on the app for maximum reach and fame, which the app dishes out gleefully. But there is one thing that the older app has been lost in transition. Warmth. The original app had a creative zing that it gave to common folk and a platform for 34
people to showcase their work. But overtime there has been a retrace to make sure everything looks insta friendly and out-do each other. In this pressure cooker of social media times, there is a breath of fresh air that is saving the selfie, party and portrait mode photo filled Instagram. The existence on comics and comic artists. Short, incredibly witty and irresistibly cute, these comics can bring a smile to anyones face. And a whole variety of topics are being dealt
with in the form of storytelling that we see. Dog and cat relationships, modern human relationships, the stories of the average girl, a south Indian uncle and his tryst with the modern times. Yup, south Indian uncle and his tryst with modern times. The artist remains a mystery, but Uncle Subbu not. Meet Uncle Subbu Comics.
