CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from December 16 to December 22, 2006:

1. Editor Kamal al-Olufi of Al-Ri al-Aam, I believe the first of the Yemeni editors convicted for republishing the Danish cartoons and subsequently sentenced to a year in jail, banned from writing, and seeing his newspaper closed for six months, is now in hiding in avoidance of a bench order for arrest, an order issued after he was released to help prepare his own appeal.

2. Harlan Ellison responds to Fantagraphics' argument for dismissal of his case against them. Next up: a Fantagraphics response to that response. Then: a hearing in February.

3. Alison Bechdel's Fun Home is Time's book of the year.

Winner Of The Week
Alison Bechdel, of course.

Loser Of The Week
Anthony.

Quote Of The Week
"It's hard to believe, but you raised another $125,000 this week." -- a report from the Penny Arcade-backed charity "Child's Play" that encourages Christmas giving by its gamer target audience. If my adding skills are working, that pushes 2006 totals to almost $900,000.

I swear no one appears on more Christmas-related comic book covers than Dennis, not even Santa
