Ghana Defamatory Suit Dismissed When Court Can’t Suss Out The Drawing

Wire services report that a defamatory suit against cartoonist Akosua by a political official named ET Mensah has been tossed by a court in that nation's capital. At the heart of the complaint was a caricature published in Daily Guide, which the politician believed compared him to a sheep. The news article is sort of interesting in that it doesn't uphold any right to compare politicians to anything, but denies that you can tell the cartoonist meant the man bringing the suit. Another victory for inexact cartooning, I guess.
