He had been a regular with ''[[The Times of India]]'' and other newspapers in [[Bombay]], including ''[[The Economic Times]]'', though he got his popularity with his works published in ''[[The Illustrated Weekly of India]]''. He was awarded India's second highest civilian award, the [[Padma Vibhushan]] (posthumously) in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=79881|title= Padma Awards|publisher=pib|date= 27 January 2013 |access-date= 27 January 2013}}</ref>

==Life and career==
===Early life===
Mário João Carlos do Rosário de Brito Miranda was born on 2 May 1926, in [[Damão]], [[Portuguese India]], to [[Goan Catholic]] parents. At an early age, he would draw [[caricature]]s and sketch on the walls of his home, until his mother brought him a blank book. He then began making personalised postcards for his friends, charging them a token amount, in the 1930s and 1940s.<ref name="ITChronicler11">{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/west/story/mario-miranda-cartoonist-148468-2011-12-11|title=Mario Miranda, a chronicler of his times|date=11 December 2011|website=India Today|access-date=2020-03-29}}</ref> He even started getting into trouble at school, for sketching Catholic priests.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiatravelogue.com/face/face14.html|title=India Travelogue Faces of India: Cartoonist Mario Miranda|website=www.indiatravelogue.com|access-date=2019-08-31}}</ref> Mario Miranda's early cartoons presented vignettes of Goan village life, a theme he is best known for even today. He would maintain diaries from the age of 10, sketching the life around him.<ref name="BBCDMello16">{{Cite news|last=D'Mello|first=Pamela|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36220327|title=The genius of Indian cartoonist Mario Miranda|date=2016-05-09|work=BBC News|access-date=2020-03-28}}</ref>

He studied at [[St. Joseph's Boys' High School, Bangalore]] and then did a B.A. in history at [[St. Xavier's College, Mumbai]], while focusing on the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). Thereafter he started studying architecture<ref name="ITChronicler11" /> at the behest of his parents, though he soon lost interest.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://members.aol.com/podium1/miranda1.html|title=The Podium Interview with Mario Miranda|date=May 31, 1996|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990209143339/http://members.aol.com/podium1/miranda1.html|archive-date=1999-02-09|url-status=dead|access-date=2019-08-31}}</ref> He then began getting small commissions and would sketch people in his private diaries in 1949. He loved good food and red wine in moderation but would mainly visit eateries and taverns to document the lives of the patrons.<ref name="IEFoodYoung16">{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/food-wine/eating-drinking-and-observing-in-1940s-goa-with-a-young-mario-miranda-2771302/|title=Eating, drinking and observing with Mario Miranda|date=2016-05-02|website=The Indian Express|access-date=2020-03-29}}</ref>

===Career beginnings===
Miranda started his career in an advertising studio, where he worked for four years, before taking up cartooning full-time. He got his first break as a cartoonist with ''[[The Illustrated Weekly of India]]'' which published a few of his works.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2004/03/01/stories/2004030102120300.htm|title=Lines from Goa|last=G.

A year later, the Times of India offered him a slot, even though they had rejected him at first. Thereafter, his creations, such as Miss Nimbupani and Miss Fonseca, appeared on a regular basis in ''Femina'', ''Economic Times'', and ''[[The Illustrated Weekly of India]]''.<ref name="BBCDMello16" />

Mario then won a grant by the [[Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation]] and lived in Portugal for year, helping him "broaden his horizons". He then moved to [[London]], working for different newspapers and even working in television animation. During his five years spent there, his caricatures were published in magazines like ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad]]'', ''[[Lilliput (magazine)|Lilliput]]'' and ''[[Punch (magazine)|Punch]]''. He then travelled to many countries, either working or conducting exhibitions.<ref name="ITChronicler11" />

===Return to Mumbai===
Miranda returned to India for good in the late 1980s<ref name="ITChronicler11" /> and was offered back his old job with the ''Times of India'' in Mumbai, where he worked with noted cartoonist, [[R.K. Laxman]].

Thereafter, Miranda met artist Habiba Hydari. Habiba was part of Hyderabad based Hydari family<ref>{{Cite web|date=Apr 24, 2021|title=Mario Miranda's wife Habiba passes away {{!}} Goa News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/mario-mirandas-wife-habiba-passes-away/articleshow/82222771.cms|access-date=2021-10-29|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> and grand-daughter of [[Akbar Hydari]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Biography - Flight - 1|url=https://mariodemiranda.com/biography/flight---1.html|access-date=2021-10-29|website=mariodemiranda.com}}</ref> They got married and had two sons, Rahul and Rishad.<ref name="ITChronicler11" />

===Recognition and fame===
Miranda's big break came in 1974, when, at the invitation of the United States Information Services, he travelled to America, which enabled him to promote his art and interact with other cartoonists in the United States and also got a chance to work with [[Charles M. Schulz]], the creator of [[Peanuts]])<ref>{{Cite news|last=Udasi|first=Harshikaa|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/adieu-to-the-aces/article2754564.ece|title=Adieu to the Aces|date=2011-12-28|work=The Hindu|access-date=2020-03-28|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> and met [[Herblock]], the editorial cartoonist of the Washington Post.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}

He held solo exhibitions in over 22 countries, including the United States, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Singapore, France, Yugoslavia, and Portugal.

===Later years and death===
After retirement, Miranda lived in his ancestral home, at [[Loutolim]], a village in [[Salcete]], Goa, with his wife Habiba.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ahmedabadmirror.indiatimes.com/columns/the-informer/chez-mirandas/articleshow/68929043.cms|title=Wendell Rodricks and Jerome Marrel pay visit to Habiba Miranda|date=Apr 18, 2019|website=Ahmedabad Mirror|access-date=2020-03-24}}</ref> Even after he retired, Miranda's work was seen regularly in Mumbai publications, and he was invited to travel to countries such as Mauritius and Spain, and draw their local cultures.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Sarkar|first=John|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ET_Features/Special_Pages/Culture_Cauldron/Travels_on_canvas_and_colour/articleshow/2493952.cms|title=Travels on canvas and colour|date=2007-10-27|work=The Economic Times|access-date=2020-03-24}}</ref> On 11 December 2011, Miranda died of natural causes at his home in Loutolim.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cartoonist-mario-miranda-dies-at-85/210847-3.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107234648/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cartoonist-mario-miranda-dies-at-85/210847-3.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 January 2012|title=Cartoonist Mario Miranda dies at 85|publisher=[[CNN-IBN]]|date=11 December 2011| access-date=11 December 2011}}</ref> Mario's body was then taken to the Hindu crematorium at Pajifond in Margao, where his pyre was lit by his younger son Rishaad as per his wishes.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/art/mario-miranda-cremated/article2710170.ece|title=Mario Miranda cremated|date=2011-12-13|work=The Hindu|access-date=2019-08-31|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Indian cartoonist Graphi and fine artist, [[Vins (cartoonist)|Vijay N Seth (Vins)]] paid tribute to Miranda, whom he considered as a mentor:

{{blockquote |text=With pen & ink that were at his command to churn out lines that every nib would be jealous of, he brushed aside the old school of cartooning using the brush, and set a new norm to use the nib pen and to master it for this branch of art. Mario created characters that gave his daily audience their quota of a smile without malice. His trips around the globe produced subtle close observations of the local musings – a fitting example of how far can one stretch the parameters of this branch of neglected art.<ref name=vijay>{{cite web|last=Seth (vinns)|first=Vijay N|title=Cartoon-artist Mario: a tribute|date=16 December 2011|url=http://www.indiaartndesign.com/2011/12/cartoon-artist-mario-tribute.html|publisher=India Art and Design|access-date=16 April 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707082316/http://www.indiaartndesign.com/2011/12/cartoon-artist-mario-tribute.html|archive-date=7 July 2012}}</ref>}}

==Style==
[[File:Comic by Mario Miranda.jpg|alt=A cartoon by Miranda|thumb|A cartoon by Miranda]]
According to [[Aaron Renier]] (who created the Google Doodle commemorating Miranda on his 90th birth anniversary in 2016), Miranda's most popular style of cartooning was "very flat with criss-crossing interactions".<ref name="HuffPoDoodle">{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/05/02/google-doodle-mario-miranda_n_9818834.html|title=Seen Today's Google Doodle? Here Is Some Of Mario Miranda's Best Work|first=Prajakta|last=Hebbar|date=2016-05-02|website=HuffPost India|access-date=2020-03-29}}</ref> Renier went on to explain:

{{blockquote |text=That is what I liked most about his work. Trying to pick out who knows who, who's watching who, who's annoyed by who, who's enamoured by who.<ref name="HuffPoDoodle" />}}

Miranda's cartoons often indulged in sexist stereotypes, with the women being drawn as curvaceous and having bulging eyes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/kerala-to-us-cartooning-is-in-the-crosshairs/articleshow/69805457.cms|title=Kerala to US, cartooning is in the crosshairs|date=16 June 2019|website=The Times of India|access-date=2020-03-29|quote=Generational sensibilities also change. For instance, the celebrated Mario Miranda drew on several sexist stereotypes, with his voluptuous, bug-eyed women — but such cartoons are less likely to pass muster today.}}</ref> He would observe people everywhere (like eateries, taverns, weddings, the bus stop, the post office) and document their social life.<ref name="IEFoodYoung16" /> However, he always stayed away from drawing political cartoons.<ref name="BBCDMello16" />

Art critic Uma Nair describes how all his work was subtly witty. Describing his drawing style, she finds that his tales were told through [[cubism]] and the nature of the contours of his work, stating that his "geometric jiggles" coupled with subtle colours helped convey the emotions of the characters. His works would include people from all walks of life interacting with one another. Additionally, he would capture the essence of Goan life.<ref name="ToIRequiem11">{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/plumage/a-requiem-for-mario-miranda/|title=A Requiem for Mario Miranda|date=2011-12-12|first=Uma|last=Nair|website=Times of India Blog|access-date=2020-03-29}}</ref> She goes on to describe:

{{blockquote |text=Mario’s drawings, like his signature, had a squared-off, serene quality, a frame of high and mischievous intention that suggested aspirations beyond the momentary smile most cartoons are content to induce... he created multitudes that had a collective melody and mood, his backgrounds were never in excess, always a quaint minimalism that endeared and endured-he also pressed towards the foreground an impressionist zeal that had a zing to it.<ref name="ToIRequiem11" />}}

==Beyond cartooning==
Besides cartooning, Miranda's murals are present on various buildings in Goa and other parts of India. Late in life he took to paintings which received wide response.

Over the years, he published several books, including ''Laugh it Off'', ''Goa with Love'', and ''Germany in Wintertime''.

Besides his own books, he illustrated books by [[Dom Moraes]] (''A Journey to Goa''), [[Manohar Malgonkar]] (''Inside Goa'') and [[Mario Cabral e Sa]] (''Legends of Goa'').<ref name="HinduEthos11">{{Cite news|last=Kamat|first=Prakash|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/art/mario-who-embodied-goan-ethos-is-no-more/article2706536.ece|title=Mario, who embodied Goan ethos, is no more|date=2011-12-11|work=The Hindu|access-date=2020-03-22|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> He also illustrated many children's books, including ''Dul-Dul'', ''The Magic Clay Horse'' (1968), ''The Adventures of Pilla the Pup'' (1969), and ''Lumbdoom, The Long-Tailed Langoor'' (1968), all written by [[Uma Anand]] and published by [[India Book House]], Mumbai, under its Echo imprint. He also illustrated for Balbharati textbooks by MSBTPCR in the 1970s.

In 1951, he collaborated with Sanskrit scholar Jose Pereira and IAS officer Alban Couto ([[Maria Aurora Couto]]'s husband) to publish a special issue of ''[[Marg (magazine)|Marg]]'' on Goan art and culture.<ref name="HinduEthos11" />

Miranda was the creative assistant during the filming of ''[[The Sea Wolves]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pai Raikar |first=Ramnath N |date=18 August 2018 |title=The Sea Wolves: WWII adventure in Goa |url=https://epaper.navhindtimes.in/PageImages/pdf/2018/08/18/18082018-md-ga-22.pdf}}</ref>

He loved to travel and listening to music and it was his ambition to experiment further with water colours and to write memories of his early years in Goa, on retirement. He was not able to fulfil these two latter ambitions.{{citation needed|date=December 2025}}

In the 1990s, Rushi Yazdegardi (then owner) of [[Café Mondegar]] asked Mario Miranda to draw [[mural]]s (cartoons) on two opposite walls. Both walls have different themes. Whilst one wall is dedicated to the ''Life in Mumbai'', the other wall is dedicated to ''Atmosphere in the Café''.<ref name="Cartoonist who loved to draw">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/mario-miranda-cartoonist-who-loved-to-draw/article1-781069.aspx|title=Mario Miranda: Cartoonist who loved to draw|last=Doshi|first=Riddhi|date=December 11, 2011|publisher=[[Hindustan Times]]}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

==Legacy==
Miranda's house features in the 1985 [[Shyam Benegal]] film, ''[[Trikaal]]'', which is loosely based on Miranda's family. Benegal admitted to having been deeply influenced by Miranda's house and family after a visit. He recalls how during his visit, he was told of how one of Miranda's ancestors accidentally killed the wrong Rane during the [[Revolt of the Ranes]] in Goa, a story which inspired him to make the film.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/art-and-theatre/mario-miranda-was-a-quintessential-goan-shyam-benegal_101925.html|title=Mario Miranda was a quintessential Goan: Shyam Benegal|date=2011-12-12|website=Zee News|access-date=2020-03-24}}</ref>

In 2005, [[Gerard da Cunha]] began working on a book on the artist and collected 13,000 of Miranda's works, tracking them down through various sources.<ref name="BBCDMello16" /> In 2016, an exhibition titled ''"A pocketful of chuckles''" on the works of Mário de Miranda was held at Gallery Gitanjali at [[Panaji]].
