The magazine is the outcome of a workshop where student artists and renowned cartoonists and graphic artists Sarnath Banerjee and Charbak Dipta from India, Joerg Reuter from Germany and Oliver Tallec from France participated.

"Vocational training is the main theme of the comic, a field where Germany and India are natural partners as emphasized by Chancellor Angela Merkel and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi," the consulate said in the release.
