The present Doodle, outlined by Istanbul-based guest artist M.K. Perker, recognizes the 98th birthday celebration of iconic Turkish cartoonist, artist, and satirist Turhan Selçuk, a praised pioneer of the contemporary Turkish funny cartoon. Employing a moderate style of line craftsmanship imbued with intense mind, Selçuk planned one of the nation’s first and most well known unique comic book characters, Abdülcanbaz, who is portrayed riding a bicycle in the present Doodle work of art.
Turhan Selçuk was conceived on this day in 1922 in the antiquated Turkish city of Milas. While still a secondary school understudy in 1941, he distributed a portion of his first representations in the paper Türk Sözü (The Turkish Word) and saw proceeded with progress with his work consistently.
As the central artist for the Yeni Istanbul (New Istanbul), he sharpened his aesthetic style and advocated the conviction that kid’s shows were a general mode of narrating. In 1954, he took a similar situation at Milliyet, an Istanbul-based day by day national paper that three years after the fact turned into the home for Selçuk’s authoritative, postmodern comic arrangement “The Adventures of Abdülcanbaz.” Across an almost three-decade run, the rakish saint Abdülcanbaz, otherwise called the “Istanbul Gentleman,” went far and wide and even through an ideal opportunity to battle treachery and help the weak.
In 1969, Selçuk helped to establish the Turkish Cartoonists Association to instruct youthful visual artists and advance the medium around the globe. He got various honors all through his right around seventy-year profession and was the principal Turkish illustrator to be granted globally.
