After seeing news reports of an October 2015 bombing in Ankara, Turkey (a city I love), I kept a closer watch for news on a website for a then-independent Turkish newspaper. It soon became clear that the current President had let success go to his head. Not only was he unable to stand criticism and satire -- interpreted as "insults" that required court appearances and possible imprisonment -- but he even had the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey re-written for him, to reflect his power and awesomeness. And so I made some cartoons to make fun of him. After the coup attempt of July 15, 2016, I suspended that activity due to the seriousness of the situation.
