Ali Family’s Strange Anecdote: Basic Ali cartoon strip was first published in the sub-editorial page of “Prothom Alo” [one of the main newspaper publishers in Bangladesh] in November 2006.

Basic Ali is the eldest son of the prominent debt defaulter Talib Ali and his wife Moly Ali. Basic’s younger sister Nature Ali is a medical student and younger brother Magic Ali is a high school student, Basic’s best friend self-forgetful Hillol and Basic’s heart throb office colleague Riya Haque.
