CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from April 18 to April 24, 2009:

1. Steve Breen wins the editorial cartooning Pulitzer at the beginning of the week and then picks up the Thomas Nast award at week's end.

2. Ascending South African political leader Jacob Zuma keeps up the pressure on the cartoonist Zapiro by suing him in court again.

3. Cartoonist Ted Rall laid off from his acquisitions editor position at United Media.

Winner Of The Week
Steve Breen is clearly the King of the Week, if not the year, but there's something nice about Yoshihiro Tatsumi sharing in the Tezuka prize for a gigantic, autobiographically focused cultural history.

Losers Of The Week
I'm a bit late on it, but these people.

Quote Of The Week
"Some of the noises coming from some of the [ANC Leader Jacob] Zuma faction are disturbingly similar to what was said by apartheid functionaries during those days. They think they alone can define the national interest and single out people who they see as opposing it." -- Zapiro
