International Cartoon News Round-Up

* I could have sworn this happened before, but the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo is going to court to defend itself against two Islamic groups that feel the publication's reprinting of the Danish Cartoons is the same as speech punishable under French law.

* Missed it: a student-run Mexican college newspaper regains its independence after being shut down following the publication of anti-administration cartoons and columns.

* Jamaica's The Gleaner responds to criticism of a harsh cartoon the week previous featuring the Prime Minister and accusations of over-lavish state trips.

* It looks like all of today's Danish Cartoons-related news are re-runs of earlier news: here's an editorial repeating a notion that was written about last Fall that the dialog between Christians and Muslim improved in Denmark after 2006's riots, political turmoil and economic boycotts. I'm reminded Tim Cavanaugh predicted this almost exactly a year ago.

* Brigid Alverson succinctly links up the story of a non-licensed version providing closure on a popular manga serial, and why this displeased the publisher.
