CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from October 20 to October 26, 2012:

1. Jacob Zuma reduces his claims against the cartoonist Zapiro, although how much this is driven by PR concerns and how much of it is legal strategy is unknown. The trial is imminent.

2. The widow of Prageeth Ekneligoda notes 1000 days since the cartoonist and journalist went missing right before a Sri Lankan election of which he was publicly critical.

3. The Projects in Portland concludes its first show. This is a small-press oriented show based on a model much more common in Europe, with a number of exhibits rather than a central area defined by commerce.

Winners Of The Week

Loser Of The Week

Quote Of The Week
