About Shikari Shambu
Shikari Shambu is an Indian comic character created by Vasant Halbe and Luis Fernandes for the Tinkle magazine in 1983. Shikari Shambu is one of the most popular characters of Tinkle. Shambu is a cowardly and lazy shikari (hunter) whom the rest of the world perceives as courageous. He always tries to run away from dangerous animals, but due to some stroke of luck he always ends up as a hero. He lives with his wife Shanti.
In The Legend of Shikari Shambu, Tinkle’s 573rd magazine, it was revealed that Shambu, before being called ‘Shikari’ Shambu, fell on a tiger and knocked him out. It was after this incident that he got the name ‘Shikari’ Shambu. He is shown as always wearing his large hunting hat, that covers his eyes and green pant and shirt. He carries a large rifle that he never uses properly.
