The years between 1960 and 1970
were classified as the "Reformation" period of the Turkish Cypriot
cartoon. "Caption cartoon" which was published before 1960's was
replaced by less verbal forms of cartoon. The subject and Humour
content in cartoons were completed with verbal forms and lines.

Humour magazine (1964-1965); then the cartoonists Tarik Arsal and
Aziz Amerikali also published their works in a Humour magazine
called "Amcabey" (1965-1966).
