Kolkata: Although his cartoons are well known, many of legendary R K Laxman's doodles that revealed a more personal aspect of the creative genius are still lying unpublished in his family's collection.

When the 'Shakespeare of Indian cartooning' came on holidays to Mysore and Bangalore during 1975-1991, he sketched hundreds of doodles, some of which were an extension of his conversations with his late brother R K Srinivasan.
