Amcabey is a comic strip character created by Turkish cartoonist Cemal Nadir Güler (1902-1947). In 1928, Cemal Nadir left his sign-making workshop in Bursa and came to Istanbul at the invitation of Necmeddin Sadak, one of the managers and chief editor of the Akşam newspaper. He began working as a staff cartoonist for the newspaper. "Amcabey" quickly became so famous among the newspaper's readers that the name "Amcabey" overshadowed Cemal Nadir's own name. Uncle Bey, in his stories, leads a happy life with his family, consisting of his wife, referred to as Aunt Hanım, his mischievous son who is quite different from him, and his gentle daughter.
