Sorry to disappoint some believers here, but it's not me. This story flew under the radar here. I found it on a site I only visit sporadically.
Iranian cartoonist Hadi Heidari sent to prison
From the New York Times: November 2015 (dead link, sorry)
Hadi Heidari, a cartoonist at the Shahrvand newspaper, was arrested on Monday and sent to Tehran’s Evin prison, his lawyer told Reuters in a telephone interview from Tehran.
“He was convicted two years ago for his cartoons and was sentenced to one year in jail. The authorities had a different interpretation of his cartoons than he had,” the lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht, said. Heidari had served about a month of the original sentence, Nikbakht said.
