During the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923) Güleryüz was the most influential humoristic magazine in Istanbul. It supported Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and frequently published his cartoons.[4] Moreover, it publicly contributed to the assumption that the war could be won.[5] Parts of its volumes were regularly censored.[5]

Its texts and numerous caricatures were written and designed by Sedat Simavi himself. The contributors included Ahmet Rasim, Ercümend Ekrem, Fazıl Ahmed, Cevad Şakir and Mustafa İzzet.[5]

As a counterpart and support of the Turkish government the politico-humorous journal Aydede was founded in 1922.[6]
