Garbage Bin (cartoon strip)

Garbage Bin is an Indian cartoon strip created in 2011 by Faisal Mohammed which was first published as a webcomic on Facebook and later added to Instagram. It has amassed more than one million followers on Facebook.[1][2][3]

Garbage Bin's protagonist is named Guddu. Supporting characters include Guddu's best friend Shan, his teacher & classmates, and family—made of his father and mother.

Guddu is depicted as a 10-year-old child in the 1990s, whose middle-class wit tickles readers and school scenes leave them in a nostalgic mood, relating them to their own childhood memories of family, school, and friends.[2] Garbage Bin gags make one realize that every middle-class child during the 1990s lived a similar life with almost the same everyday incidents and accidents.[1][3]

Guddu is inspired by cartoonist Faisal Mohammed, and Shan is inspired by his close friend and Garbage Bin Studios co-founder, Md. Shan Nawaz. [1] With a modest beginning in 2011, the comic now has over 900k Facebook followers.[1]
