Across an almost three-decade run, the rakish legend Abdülcanbaz, otherwise called the “Istanbul Gentleman,” went the world over and even through an ideal opportunity to battle bad form and help the powerless.

In 1969, Selçuk helped to establish the Turkish Cartoonists Association to teach youthful sketch cartoonist and advance the medium around the globe.

He got various honors all through his right around seventy-year career and was the principal Turkish sketch artist to be granted universally.
