Mr
B V RamaMurthy was not only born cartoonist but was also had
a sound and deep knowledge of english and Kannada. Mr RamaMurthy
popularized the daily caption in Karnataka state (India) since
1958. His cartoons were daily published in Deccan Herald till
March 24 2004. The common man was depicted in his cartoon.
Mr.
RamaMurthy started caricaturing even in his school days. Celebrated
journalists Philip Spratt of MysIndia and Phothan Joseph of
Deccan Herald discovered his talent and encouraged him to draw
for their respective journals.
In 1958 he started daily cartoons as "As you Like It". Regarding
the daily cartoons Mr.Citizen no body in india would write the
caption in one sentence. This is often called 'Punch Line' and
he was famous for his lines. After some days, another genius
Mr R K Laxman started
"You
Said It" in Times of India.

Even
David Lowe sent a letter of appreciation some time back. He
use to do lot of oil / water painting also. Totally he was a
great artist (cartooning, painting, literature). Since R K Laxman
and B V RamaMurthy were contemporaries, Laxman shifted his base
from Bangalore to Mumbai in 1948. Mr Laxman was working with
a tabloid called Koravanjee in Bangalore.The editor was
despeartely looking for a cartoonist then he made a comment
on Mr RamaMurthy cartoons like this ... "Hey Laxmana, you
shifted to Mumbai, so there is no worry for me as our own RamaMurthy
is present here in bangalore."
