"Bu ne bicim bok" (What kind of shit is this) is something I uttered at a Istanbul taxi cab driver who started to refuse to let us into his cab from the boat landing in Kabatas.
I was reminded of it just now because a far lengthier version of this entry was going to be posted here.
As it is, I am just include one of Italian comic book artist Sergio Bonelli's (1932- ) series "Mister No" for this entry. His other famous comic book character is "Zagor."
"Mister No" was created in 1975. It is popular in Italy, Turkey, Brazil, Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia, though readership has dropped in Turkey in recent years. "Zagor" came out in 1961. (the pictured image is from a Brazilian comic book)
Mister No is a former U.S. Army soldier named Jerry Drake who moves to the Amazon. Along with his friend Esse Esse, he travels into the jungle to find various culprits.
The comic book reminds me of the American cartoon "Johnny Quest," which also took place in a tropical rain forest setting.
