The top comics-related news stories from November 7 to November 13, 2009:

1. The Bangladeshi cartoonist Arifur Rahman, out of jail since March of this year for what many considered an innocuous cartoon riffing on the name Muhammad, was tried and sentenced without his knowledge and may spend another two months or slightly more in jail.

2. A school board in South Dakota restricts access to teachers on the anthology Stuck In The Middle after a parental complaint.

3. Ex-NY Post staffer Sandra Guzman sues former employer, saying she was fired in part due to her objections to their running a much-criticized Sean Delonas cartoon that sought to compare the sitting President of the US to a dead chimpanzee
