Boban and Molly (Malayalam: ബോബനും മോളിയും) are the characters of a political satiric Indian weekly comic series created by VT Thomas (known by the pen name Toms) and is one of the longest uninterruptedly running comic series of the world. It was first published in 1962 and has been in print ever since. Boban and Molly, twin brother and sister from the rural environs of central Travancore became popular in Kerala through the Malayala Manorama weekly, which published the strip for almost four decades. After a controversial legal battle between Malayala Manorama and Thomas, "Boban and Molly" began to appear as a comic magazine called "Tom's Magazine".
