This article takes up the issue of plagiarism in the Ottoman satirical press on the basis of the cartoons that appear in three magazines published in the years 1875-1876 and 1908. Demonstrating the fact that the cartoons published in Kahkaha, Çaylak, and Boşboğaz ile Güllâbî were not just examples of adaptation but plagiarism from famous British satire magazine Punch or The London Charivari, the essay emphasizes the need for new research into the history of satirical press in Turkey.
