MY STYLE IS NAUGHTY, STYLISH AND SMART,
MAKING FRIENDS EASILY FOR ME IS AN ART,
SINCE CHILDHOOD JOZI HAS BEEN MY SWEETHEART,
BUT THREE NOT THREE ALWAYS WANTS ME TO DEPART.
CARTOONIST PRAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING PACE WITH HIS TIMES WHILE ETCHING OUT THE CHARACTERS FOR HIS COMICS. ONE SUCH EXAMPLE IS THE CHARACTER OF BILLOO WHICH HE CREATED FOR HIS TEENAGE AUDIENCE. HE DEPICTED THE LIFESTYLE OF THE CAPITAL CITY OF DELHI IN THE SEVENTIES AND EIGHTEES. BILLOO IS JUST A TEENAGER NEXT DOOR WHO LOVES WATCHING THE TELEVISION AND PLAYING CRICKET. HIS ICONIC STYLE IS A FOREHEAD FULL OF HAIR THAT EVEN COVER HIS EYES. THE READERS HAVEN’T SEEN THE FULL FACE OF BILLOO TILL DATE EXCEPT IN ONE COMIC TITLED ‘ONE DAY’ WHICH WAS BASED ON THE VALENTINE’S DAY.
THE VERY FRIENDLY BILLOO HAS A GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT INCLUDES GABDU, MONU, BISHAMBER, HIS CHILDHOOD LOVE JOZI AND HIS PET DOG MOTI. BILLO IS ALWAYS AT LOGGERHEADS WITH BAJRANGI, THE WRESTLER OF THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD. BAJRANGI'S AIDE DHAKKAN ADDS FUEL TO THE FIRE WHICH INCREASES THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO. THE NAME THAT TOPS THE LIST OF BILLOO’S ENEMIES IS OF COLONEL THREE NOT THREE. HE IS JOZI’S FATHER AND HE DOESN'T LIKE HIS DAUGHTER KEEPING ANY CONTACT WITH BILLOOO. HENCE, WHENEVER HE COMES ACROSS BILLOO HE THREATENS TO SHOOT HIM WITH HIS GUN.
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES BILLOO WAS SEEN AS A SMALL CHILD BUT LATER ON BILLOO, JOZI AND THEIR FRIENDS COULD BE SEEN AS TEENAGERS. NAUGHTY BILLOO AND HIS GROUP OF FRIENDS CAN ALWAYS BE SEEN MAKING MERRY ALL ACROSS THE COLONY. MANY A TIMES BILLOO’S ANTICS LAND HIM INTO A PROBLEM. IT COULD BE SMASHING THE WINDOWPANE OF BAJRANGI 'S HOUSE DUE TO BE BILLOO’S CRICKET BALL OR A SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED BOUT WITH A DANGEROUS CROOK THAT HAPPENED OUT OF BILLOO’S IGNORANCE. BUT HE IS CLEVER ENOUGH TO USE ONE OR ANOTHER TRICK AND HELP HIMSELF OUT OF THE MESS. AT THE END OF ALL THE COMICS BILLOO EMERGES AS A HERO BECAUSE ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
