Content

Target's outstanding production values as well as the quality of cartoonists and writers on its editorial board made it stand out from other contemporary Indian children's magazines like Tinkle, Champak and Chandamama.

A popular feature in Target was pages with information on international pen friends. In the age before email revolutionised communication, having pen friends was a popular hobby, both for the purpose of knowing about the world at large, and collecting stamps from foreign countries.

Some of the popular comic strips published in Target were:

  • Gardhab Das by Jayanto and Neelabh
  • Detective Moochwala and Pooch and Funny World by Ajit Ninan
  • Granny's Gupshup by Praloy Chakrovorty

and Joygopal Podder and others

  • It Happened in History written by Renuka Narayanan and illustrated by Suddhasattwa Basu.
  • Science News illustrated by Priya Nagarajan and others

Famous quotes containing the word content:

    I am content to live it all again,
    And yet again, if it be life to pitch
    Into the frog-spawn of a blind man’s ditch.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I have sometimes seen women, who would have been sensible enough, if they would have been content not to be called women of sense—but by aiming at what they had not, they only proved absurd—for sense cannot be counterfeited.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    Women are angels, wooing;
    Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.
    That she beloved knows naught that knows not this:
    Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
    That she was never yet that ever knew
    Love got so sweet as when desire did sue.
    Therefore this maxim out of love I teach:
    Achievement is command; ungained, beseech.
    Then though my heart’s content firm love doth bear,
    Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
