CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from January 29 to February 4, 2011:

1. Mohammed Geele found guilty on three charges related to a January 1, 2010 break-in into the home of Danish Cartoons Controversy cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. The 29-year-old Somali man was sentenced to nine years in jail, after which he will be asked to leave the country.

2. Art Spiegelman wins the Grand Prix at Angouleme, will assist in aid in the planning and execution of next year's festival. This marks the first North American cartoonist selected since Robert Crumb in 1999, and only the third overall, the first being Will Eisner. The announcement was the big moment of a successful and slightly dull Angouleme weekend.

3. Letter asking the UN to look into the case of missing Sri Lankan cartoonist/columnist Prageeth Eknaligoda delivered and initially processed.
