The Small Blue Kingfisher Hunts

In my space with the Turkish children's magazine, Arastirmaci Cocuk, we speak about kingfishers this month! Here's a comic on the hunting technique of the Small Blue or Common Kingfisher, one of Turkey's (and India's) most popular kingfisher species. The comic appears originally in Turkish, translated by my designer and editor Ayse Dincer.

Caracal Comics for Arastirmaci Cocuk Magazine

In the second month of my association with Arastirmaci Cocuk Merkezi, a brilliant children's magazine from Ankara, Turkey, my task was to create comics for a section on one of Turkey's most popular wild cats- the Caracal! Here are some of the cartoons and comics that appear in the magazine originally in Turkish, translated to English here-

The Caracal is one of the highest jumpers in the cat family!

Arctic Tern Comics for Arastirmaci Cocuk Merkezi

(Juvenile tern to dad: Papa! I have a great idea for a new migration route! 

Look- this short cut is half our last trip! 

Dad: My little boy, you have a lot to learn!)

(Tern: We should really stop hanging out here!)

(Tern 1: I'm going to take a little nap. Can you wake me up when we get home?

Tern 2: Come on, you've been sleeping throughout the journey!

Tern1: Zzzz)

Anyone who's been reading Green Humour knows how special a place the Arctic Tern holds in my heart! Here are some comics on the life of this amazing bird, that I illustrated for Arastirmaci Cocuk Merkezi, or the Children's Research Magazine, which is brought out from Ankara, Turkey. These comics are written by the lovely Ayse Dincer, who designs the magazine. Written in a child-friendly tone for Turkey's young and curious minds, the comics speak about migration (Arctic Terns migrate for the longest distance for any bird); adaptations such as the tern's burglar-like black head, and its ability to sleep in flight.

Thanks to the Arastirmaci team for giving me my first chance to draw comics in Turkish! You can follow this wonderful children's magazine on their Facebook page here.
