Hi! This is Joseph Canisius Dias, author of the book. I’m a cartoonist and illustrator, originally from Goa and now living in Portugal. This book is my love letter to the Goa I grew up in — a world of winding village roads, mango trees,  monsoons, family weddings, colonial remnants, and cultural chaos — all seen through the eyes of a kid,  a teenager, and now, a reflective adult. This is not just a cartoon book. It’s my life, my memories — and probably  yours too if you’ve ever called Goa “home.”  What’s in the Book? “Jodi’s Goa- UP THE MANDOVI AND DOWN THE ZUARI” is a 200-page, A4-sized cartoon memoir filled with hand-drawn cartoons, sketches, and illustrated anecdotes.
