The week's most important comics-related news stories, July 8 to July 14, 2006.

1. Johnny Hart and his syndicate flatly deny any insult to Islam in July 3 cartoon.

2. Musa Kart wins a Press Freedom award.

3. Anjem Choudary receives a small fine for his role earlier this year in improperly organizing a march against the Muhammed cartoons run last Fall by the newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Some aren't happy about this.

Winner of the Week
Zapiro. Court cases can turn winners into losers in the thirty seconds it takes for a decision to be read out loud, but the South African cartoonist has received international support after being sued by politician Jacob Zuma, and he has clearly won the war of words.

Loser of the Week
The Canadian magazine distributor Indigo.

Quote of the Week
"It's a monkey on your back." Dan Vado compares comics to heroin in this movie trailer.
