About

Chintoo is a famous Marathi comic strip that appears in Sakal newspaper. For couple of years it appeared in Loksatta.

Chintoo (or Chintu) has been popular in all age groups since it started. It is being published online for more than 5 years now. There is no place where one can see all the comic strips, esakal shows only latest Chintoo. So in spite of the popularity, Chintoo is not reaching as many people as it can. This website is an attempt to increase the reach of Chintoo comic strip. This site currently has almost all the cartoon strips published online since March 2002. This site also gets daily updated with latest Chintoo available.

You don’t have to come to this site daily to check the updates. You can get daily Chintoo comic strips either in your email inbox via Email Subscription or get feeds in your RSS reader via RSS Subscription to this website.

Characters in the cartoon

Chintoo

The hero of the strip. He represents a typical boy in middle class Marathi family. Normal incidents in his day to day life are given a humorous face in this cartoon series. He faces all the problems that other boys of his age face like pressure to study from parents, getting bullied etc. He also enjoys doing pranks. He gets fun out of simple things. He enjoys watching cricket, stealing mangoes from Joshi Kaku's trees. He loves to have pets, but his parents always refuse to let him have one.

Pappa

Chintoo’s father.

Aai

Chintoo’s Mother.

Pappu

Chintoo's best friend. The boy who helps Chintoo when he is in danger. But then, Raju is more danger than anybody can handle.

Mini

Girl in the group. She loves going to school, exams and everything about studies. She is a poet at heart but nobody in the group like her poems. Chintoo dislikes everything that Mini likes.

Bagalya

Geek in the group. His name derives from his long frame, much like giraffe. Baglya is kind of average Joe.

Raju

The bodily strong but mentally slow person in the group. Likes Mini's poems, but then that is not a praise. He does not understand jokes quickly, even if you make fun of him. So, if you are fast, you can crack jokes about him and get away. If he catches you, you are beaten. Chintoo loves making fun of the Raju and keeps getting beaten by Raju.

Joshi Kaku

Chintoo's neighbor, who has a large garden full of fruit trees. Gets the brunt of the group's play, with their cricket resulting mostly in ball going through Joshikaku's glass windows, with predictable results.
