important period in Turkish-Cypriot Cartoon. The concept of
"no-caption cartoon" which started in the 1970's started gaining
universal dimensions under the leadership of cartoonist Musa Kayra.

The cartoons of this period reflect
the local and universal problems and happenings using 'lines'.
Different symbols were used to express the subject and Humour

language which reflect and explain the common local and universal
problems of many a country. Turkish Cypriot Cartoonist who
