Laxman admit that making a cartoon is not a piece of cake.  Laxman says he has to wait for over six hours, which includes spending a lot of time scanning newspapers and television channels before any idea strikes him.
How does one become a cartoonist?  There are few colleges or schools for cartoonists.  Established cartoonists are  of the view that no institute can teach you to make a cartoon.  While basics, like drawing and sketching can be learnt in an art college, these alone will not make a good cartoonist.
