Abstract

The characters of Muhammad Khalid Akhtar and Mushtaq Ahmad Yousufi are a fine addition to the tradition of comic characterization of Urdu humour. Muhammad Khalid Akhtar's comic characters stand out in the comics with their uniqueness and similarity. Unlike Jati, the comic characters of Mushtaq Ahmad Yousufi can be divided into different categories. There are characters based on nostalgia, local and immigrant characters, characters presenting society's perversions and moral and cultural decline. Therefore, each character of Yusufi has its own individual characteristics and Yusufi's characters are brought before us in crowds and every character. With their individual qualities and looking different and different from other characters, they manage to get the place of living and living characters in Urdu comic character writing.
