Go, Read: The World’s Least Popular Comics Show

Here's an article on Iran's Holocaust Cartoon Exhibition, held in Tehran with almost comically transparent political faction encouragement.

Cartoon competitions of the non-distressing political view variety are kind of like the regional karate tournaments of the international cartooning community. They're apparently a very big deal for some people, but may not register at all for the bulk of people who are practitioners or devoted fans of the cartoon forms. They don't for me. I probably couldn't tell you a single winner of any cartoon competition of this type, ever, and I get those e-mails about a half-dozen times a year. That there's one that seems to come out of a place of support for holocaust denial strikes me as weird as a 9/11 conspiracy cartoon contest at SPX would. Labor doesn't lie, though; this is a thing.
