S. Jithesh

S. Jithesh, popularly known as Dr. Jitheshji, is a speed cartoonist and former Vice-Chairman of Kerala Cartoon Academy. Jitheshji is considered as the father of Speed Cartooning since he has initiated and popularised 'Speed Cartooning' and 'Super-Speedy Cartooning' through his infotainment cartoon stage shows named Varayarangu. His infotainment art form, Varayarangu, is a blend of poetry, anecdotes, and socio-political satire with high speed drawing. Sketching of more than thousand celebrity caricatures at a quick pace and satirical commentary is the major attraction of his cartoon stage shows. He is recognised as the "World's Fastest Performing Cartoonist" since his ability to speed sketch fifty celebrity caricatures within five minutes. Jitheshji is the first Keralite who received more than 20 million plus views on Instagram for his unique art performance. ^{Dr. Jitheshji, Indian Speed Cartoonist and Pictorial Orator}
