Missed It: Welcome Back To Cartoon-Making, Atena Farghadani

Matilda Battersby at the Independent notes in her review of the Atena Farghadani case, imprisonment and eventual release that the young artist had made a new cartoon and posted it on Facebook in June. I totally missed this, but it is a wonderful thing. I hope she makes whatever art she wants for the rest of her life, and I hope that conservative elements in culture are far less an impediment to her doing so than the simple, always-tough act of putting one's imagination on the page.

This story is so welcome that even the name of the reporter is awesome.
