Noted journalist Sunder Kabadi reported

to make him the subject of some of their cartoons. One of these cartoons
depicted Sorcar in the midst of vanishing trick in which the disappearing
subject was - Mr. John Foster Dulles. Another cartoonist portrayed Sorcar
doing his tongue cutting trick - the tongue also belonging to the American
