Go, Read: Multiple Articles On Turkish Cartoonists And Where They Stand In Terms Of Recent Protests

There's a short piece up from a feeder site for international news agencies here suggesting that cartoonists in Turkey are siding with the protesters in that country's recent series of political incidents and general turmoil. It makes sense to me, and not just for the usual reason that cartoonists tend to be anti-authoritarian: Turkey's record -- heck, Erdogan's record -- when it comes to suing cartoonists that dare to make work about high government officials is horrible.

A longer, more contextually-minded piece on cartooning's role in modern Turkey can be found here.
