Iranian Cartoon Places at Golden Smiles

I'm not sure why, but in the face of such bad news for cartooning overseas in 2006 (riots, holocaust cartoon contests, lawsuits by political figures), there's something sort of nice about an old-fashioned international cartoon contest story, such as this story about Iranian Shahrokh Heydari taking second place in the 5th cartoon exhibition in Belgrade, this year featuring comedians, with a portrait of the cartoonist and ace lyricist Shel Silverstein. Maybe it's the mix of places and people, maybe it's the whole idea of a news story about someone taking second place, I don't know, but it made me smile, which given the name of the thing, might be the point.
