If You Come Today : the comic

This story is set in an alternate history Bangalore of the late 1970s.

It’s a cocktail of a ‘million memories’, laced with generous amounts of kitsch, hyperbole and vernacular references.

Please take your grammar/spelling/historical-accuracy hats off before you proceed. And watch each panel carefully; I’ve hidden some really hard-to-find easter eggs in there. (If you find that some of the writing’s too small, just click on the image. That’ll load the entire page into your browser and you can then zoom in. Note: there are four pages in all.) Thank you.

Chapter 1 : The Hunt
