चाचा चौधरी

दोस्तों  हममे से ऐसा कौन है , जिसने चाचा चौधरी को नहीं पढ़ा है .चाचा चौधरी संभवतः भारत के सबसे लोकप्रिय कार्टून चरित्रों में से एक हैं। इनके रचयिता है- कार्टूनिस्ट प्राण कुमार शर्मा जिन्हें प्राण के नाम से जाना जाता है। एक बार प्राण साहब ने सोचा की क्यों ना एक भारतीय कोमिक्स पात्र बनाया जाए , एक बुड्ढा जो अपने तेज दिमाग से चुटकियों मे समस्याओं को हल कर दे ! और इस तरह १९७१ मे चाचा चौधरी ने सफ़ेद कागज़ पर जन्म लिया !
चाचा चौधरी की बीवी का नाम 'चन्नी चाची 'है। इनके कोई बच्चे नहीं हैं पर इसी कॉमिक दुनिया के पात्र, 'बिल्लू' और 'पिंकी' चाचा चौधरी के बच्चों सामान ही हैं। चाचा चौधरी का साथी है साबू, जो जूपिटर ग्रह का निवासी है और जिसका शरीर दैत्याकार है । साबू को एक तरह से चाचा जी का बेटा कहा जा सकता है ।
चाचा चौधरी का एक कुत्ता भी है, 'राकेट' नाम का. इसके बारे में कॉमिक-सीरीज में लिखा गया है की "चाचा चौधरी का कुत्ता स्लर्प स्लर्प दूध पीता है". ये कुत्ता किसी ख़ास नस्ल का नहीं है, पर फिर भी कई बार चाचा चौधरी के काम आया है।
कई बार चाचा जी की पगड़ी भी कमाल दिखा देती है ।
इनके प्रमुख दुश्मन पात्र हैं गोबर सिंह, राका आदि ।

Once cartoonist Pran struck upon an idea of a wise oldman who solves problems with his sharp intellect. Thus CHACHA CHAUDHARY was born in 1971. Tall and robust SABU, who is an inhabitant of planet Jupiter, gave Chaudhary an ideal company. A combination of wisdom and strength was formed to tackle any difficult task. It is said that " Chacha Chaudhary's brain works faster than a computer". Though both fight the criminals and tricksters, each episode ends with a touch of humour. The duo perform in lighter vein. 

The CHAUDHARY family consists of his wife Bini, a fat sharp tongue woman, Sabu, Rocket - the dog and Dag- Dag, an old truck who is half human- half machine.
