Bahadır Baruter

Bahadır Baruter (born 1963) is a Turkish caricaturist and one of the founders of the L-manyak, Penguen, Lombak cartoon magazines.

In 2001 he left Leman with many others drawing in L-Manyak and continued working on Lombak under Komik Şeyler Publishing.

In 2002 he co-founded Penguen magazine with Metin Üstündağ, Erdil Yaşaroğlu and Selçuk Erdem, who have also left Leman.

Due to decline in sales and attrition of other caricaturists, Hayvan, Kemik and Lombak magazines were shut down by 2009.

The Istanbul chief public prosecutor's office charged Baruter with "insulting the religious values adopted by a part of the population" and requested his imprisonment for up to one year.
