CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from May 11 to May 17, 2013:

1. A Mike Peters cartoon was reworked by a publication so obviously it hurts one's teeth -- a common practice in this day and age of digital manipulation. Whether or not the attention driven to your issue balances against being criticized for this kind of activity, no one likely knows. Meanwhile, it's impossible to have a bad cartoon, the cartoon must be unfair.

2. The Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival, a successful arts- and alt-comics show that's been running since 2009, calls it quits.

3. The Bill Finger Award will go to Don Rosa and the late Steve Gerber this year, throwing another spotlight on the resuscitated issue of creators rights.

Winner Of The Week
Your Doug Wright Awards winners.

Loser Of The Week
Our wallets, as another publisher to watch launches.

Quote Of The Week
"Maybe that's why they never gave you an award before." -- my approximate memory of Doug Wright Awards host Scott Thompson to the cartoonist David Collier after Collier's rambling, chaotic acceptance speech.
