Suppandi

Suppandi, or Supp for short, is a Tinkle toon, the main character of his titular series. He made his debut in Tinkle #27 (January 1983) in the story "The Adventures of Suppandi - 1". He has been an increasingly popular and recurring character ever since.

Suppandi is characterised by a surprisingly low level of intelligence, even for a village simpleton, being fired over and over due to being unable to properly understand, much less execute, his various masters' various commands. However, he has demonstrated wisdom in certain situations.

Most of his comical errors are because he doesn't understand instructions, doesn't think them through, or over thinks them. He also has bad luck, further contributing to his mistakes.

Suppandi's lack of intellect is well-known to the point that his very name invokes the ideal of a foolish simpleton. This has also made him a famous character and major mascot for Tinkle.

Personality and Traits
For someone who is so commonly attributed to mistakes or even blunders, Suppandi is highly optimistic and mostly sweet tempered. He is rarely angered by the incidents around him and almost never seems to hold a grudge against his former employers. He remains optimistic and hardly worries for the future and what it holds, possessing a "live in the moment" kind of attitude.

His notable simplicity, often bordering to outright stupidity is almost never addressed as an issue by recurring characters in the story line, who prefer to overlook it in favor of his more desirable qualities, namely his loyalty and good nature.

Despite obvious inconveniences due to his misinterpretations, Suppandi remains a frequent and loyal friend to all those he has a strong bond with, indicating that he is extremely amiable and easy to get along with, despite drawbacks from his lack of intellect. Suppandi is also very much straight forward too.
