ComicBudugu

Ranjeet Kumar is a fictional character created by Mullapudi Venkata Ramana[1] of Andhra Pradesh in India. Budugu is a precocious and bratty child, characterized by his inimitably childish Telugu. Mullapudi describes the world as seen through his eyes with humor. Budugu has an opinion about everything. He talks about culture, raising children, politicians and the 13th table. His lifetime ambition is to become a tange-wala(टंगे वाला ) (horse cart) rider or a train driver.

There are many recurring characters. Budugu's immediate family include his parents, Radha and Gopalam, his grandmother, Bamma, and his unmarried uncle, Baabai. His various neighbors include Laavupaati Pakkinti Pinnigaru and her husband, Budugu's child love C Gaana Pasoonamba, a detective, and many more.

'Budugu – Chichula Pidugu' is the name of the serial published by 'Andhra Pathrika' in which Mullapudi Venkata Ramana introduces 'Budugu'. 'Budugu' is autobiographical in nature, where the author describes some of his childhood days, thoughts, and happenings. The rest is all in the spirit of imagination. This collection later appeared in two volumes.

The drawings of Budugu are by Bapu, a maker of Telugu films. Bapu focuses on capturing the expressions of the characters.

"Budugu" is a pet name for the child and was later used for a whole generation of children in Andhra Pradesh.
