Merhaba!

 

Turkce ogreniyorum ve Memecan´in karikaturlarini cok begeniyorum!  Bu karikaturu anlamiyorum: http://www.sabah.com.tr/Cizerler/Bizimcity/2009/09/24

 

Now in English I don´t understand what Erogan is saying back to Obaba.  Is he saying: "But I demand that my protections (?) will defeat yours" - what does this mean?

 

I would appreciate any help/insight anyone out there can provide.

 

Cok tesekkurler ve iyi geceler!

1st bubble:

"We have come to an agreement about topics such as Economic crisis, national security, Middle East, Global warming. No problem"

2nd bubble:

"But I still think my bodyguards would beat yours!"

 

It refers to the incident where Obama´s and RTE´s security guards had a quarrel in USA. And it kinda tries to emphasize RTE´s somewhat aggressive mood. Anyway; not funny to me at all and Salih Memecan isn´t really a good caricaturist.

 

There are 2 popular weekly caricature magazines in Turkey and many good caricaturists. The problem is most caricatures need a Turkish cultural background so foreigners(or Turkish people living abroad) would not find them funny. I´d still advise "Selçuk Erdem" though, here are some samples:

Hmm; then I guess even that one requires some cultural background or we have incompatible sense of humour, sorry :S It is kinda making fun of the phrase(commonly said by cool men) "I work alone".  I feel terrible now thank you Reyhan
