What Is New, Yaar?

I wish all of you A VERY VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. :)))))))))))))))

I am reminded of a cartoon by the Late Mario Miranda titled 'What is new, Yaar' published in The Economic Times years ago. Mario died a few days ago and The ET published a few articles on the the renowned cartoonist. The paper also reprinted this cartoon first published on a new year's day. The characters in this series were the business tycoon Boss, his buxom secretary Miss Foensca, his politician friend the bulky Mr. Bundaldass, the film actress Miss Nimbupani and a beggar with a street dog. The beggar used to sit on the street near Boss's office. Boss used to have occasional conversations with the beggar. In this particular cartoon, the beggar is sleeping on a newspaper of new year's day and Boss asks the beggar "What is new, yaar?"
