CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from February 7 to February 13, 2009:

1. Sean Delonas draws criticism for a cartoon that many think was referencing either overtly or in wink-wink provocative fashion President Obama being a chimp.

2. Ben Sargent takes a buy-out in Austin.

3. Another cartoonist in need: Karen Ellis loses all physical possessions in a deadly fire.

Winners Of The Week
Your 2009 Eisner Hall of Fame nominees.

Loser Of The Week
Between Sargent, Delonas and Mike Lester engaging with fans in impolite fashion about one of his cartoons, it seemed like a bad week for editorial cartooning generally.

Quote Of The Week
"Man, I wish they taught your dad how to put a condom on a cucumber, so a bitter fuck like you would of never had the chance to shit out hate from your all consuming black hole of an ass." -- A Mike Lester fan.
