Amazon has said it is trying to fix a bug in its voice-based personal assistant device Alexa, after many users complained that the speaker had begun to laugh without any reason. Cartoonist Shreyas Navare gives it his own hilarious interpretation.

Mamata Banerjee’s indecisiveness is the focus of E.P. Unny’s cartoon in The Indian Express. It shows Banerjee unable to decide if she loves the Left or not, given her bigger enemy presently is the BJP. And finally, Karna’s cartoon in Tamil daily Dinamalar, shows Sonia Gandhi and Banerjee both trying to convince a reluctant M.K. Stalin of the DMK to join them, with little success.
