'King Kong'.
Dogan Güzel was a cartoonist for the pro-Kurdish dailies Özgür Gündem and Özgür Ülke. In 1998, he was sentenced to forty months imprisonment for "insulting the State" for having written the phrase "Khape TC" ("the lax/weak Republic of Turkey") in four drawings. Each caricature resulted in a ten-month prison sentence for Güzel. In 1999, he received amnesty and the Courage in Cartooning Award from the Cartooning Rights Network International. Güzel received political asylum and citizenship in Spain.
On 16 August 2016, Güzel was arrested again when a Turkish court ordered the temporary closure of the pro-Kurdish newspaper Ozgür Gündem. He was released again on 22 August.
Güzel is also a contributor to the comic magazine Meme.
