Iranian Cartoonists In The News

* the cartoonist Nikahang Kowsar is among the many artists and commentators paying close attention to the details of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's trip to the US, and this post features one of his cartoons.

* here's a fairly full report on the content of Marjane Satrapi's speech at a college using her Persepolis as an incoming across-class book. Her response to being called a graphic novelist is amusing.

* here's an article about that protest of the cartoon biennial by a number of cartoonists that puts it into the context of similar protests by artists of all types.

* finally, I love any excuse to run a link to a news story about an Iranian cartoonist receiving an award at some sort of international cartooning contest. You can't go three weeks without a story like that showing up on the links radar, although I rarely get an opportunity to run them. I have no grasp of this chain of contests out there, or what benefits are involved with winning them, and I sort of like it that way.
