The Arabic-language satirical magazine al-Fukaha ( Arabic الفكاهة, DMG al-Fukāha  , Humor, Joke, Joke ') was published weekly between 1926 and 1933 in Cairo . The publisher was the well-known publishing house Dar al-Hilal , which published a total of seven volumes with 369 issues. One issue consisted of 48 pages and a mostly caricatured cover picture. Numerous caricatures , comics and illustrations support the satirical texts, the style of which was often reminiscent of the New York art of the time and pin-up art . The magazine's satire aimed on the one hand at the Cairo world and on the other hand at the international social scene. In 1933 Dar al-Hilal merged the two magazines al-Fukaha and al-Kawakib to form the satirical magazine Al-Ithnayn ("The Two" / "The Two").
