Iraqi Wins International ‘Toon Contest

Iraqi cartoonist Mohammed al-Adwani has won the International Editorial Cartoon Contest sponsored by the Canada Press Club. This year's theme was "Shooting the Messenger," and the winning cartoon showed a paper boy being escorted by government security as he tries to ply his wares. I'd reprint the cartoon here, but that feels more like stealing than linking -- it's in the link, though. Iraqi ambassador to Canada Ambassador Howar Ziad accepted the award Thursday in Ottawa on al-Adwani's behalf.
