CR Week In Review



The week's most important comics-related news stories, April 29 to May 5, 2006.

1. Charles Brownstein named as instigator in Mid-Ohio Con incident involving Taki Soma. Some reaction. My view.

2. Musa Kart "cat" decision overturned by Turkey court. This was one of the big cases in Prime Minister's Erdogan legal crusade against cartoon depictions of himself.

3. Is it a sign of late-act defiance or merely an indication that the issue has become local again? Jyllands-Posten sues for defamation.

Winner of the Week
The Comics Journal, hitting first with the Mid-Ohio Con name reveal.

Losers of the Week
To varying degrees, every major actor in the Mid-Ohio Con thing not The Comics Journal.

Quote of the Week
"If my daughter came home from a comic convention and said she'd been in a hot tub with some drunk nerd who grabbed her boob, I'd say, 'You're lucky that's ALL he grabbed, and you're grounded.'" -- from the expected joke-making about the Mid-Ohio incident as word broke about details, this one on Comicon.com.
