Origin

Suppandi made his debut in Tinkle No.27 in January 1983.^{[citation needed]} Unlike other Tinkle characters, he was not originally conceptualized by the creators of the magazine. He was born out of 3 narrative stories sent by Sameer Salman from Trichy. The concept was rendered into comic format in Tinkle studios, with the illustrations by one of the famous yesteryear artists, Ram Waeerkar.^{[citation needed]}

Ram Waeerkar carried on drawing for Suppandi till the early 2003, after which it is now being taken care by Ram Waeerkar’s talented daughter, Archana Amberkar.^{[citation needed]}
