A series of cartoon strips in a mass-circulation newspaper debut 50 years ago and books from 1976 “Kabuan Karn Gae Jon” (Anti-Poverty Club) remain highly popular among fans of Thai cartoon series and the books have become rare used-book items that are sought after by book lovers.

 

Written by Prayoon Chanyawongs named as The King of Thai Cartoon, Kabuan Karn Gae Jon was not only a treasure of local wisdom on food and agriculture, it inspired and encouraged the poor people to be aware of self-sufficient living.

 

In an effort to translate the 2 dimensions of black and white iconic cartoons into the modern day, the non-profit organization Prayoon Chayawongs with funding support from Thai Media Fund (TMF) will be launching the first animated TV series from November 5, 2022. The 30 episodes will be aired on Thairath TV every Saturday at 10.55 am – 10.57 am and Sunday at 10.51am – 10.53 am, the best times for families, kids, and young people to watch.
