Great work!. Just few suggestions, reduce the size to 900px wide with 72px resolution, so that it will load fast and fit the screen while popup. Expect more similar posts.. Good Luck!

Dear Friend, great works.all the best wishes...
This, for me,is the kind of work that requires enormous paience.For a quickie like me, this steadiness is too far away.
But, I wish that Anil could have showcased some of his 'antique' cartoons as well, here.
