Good Evening

The cartoon post this evening is going to be somber, as you can probably tell it will focus on the terrorist events in France this week.

Before we get to the cartoon tributes, let’s touch on a few things:

First a few quick updates on the news:

French police end twin standoffs, killing Charlie Hebdo terror suspects and an associate – The Washington Post

Paris Massacre Suspects Killed in Dramatic Hostage Raids – NBC News.com

And secondly:

The Twitter phenomenon:

 

Look here for the geomap of the twitter hashtag #JeSuisCharlie  at the website | CartoDB it shows a time lapse map of the use of this hashtag over a period of time.

The cartoons that got 12 people killed can be seen here:

As for the tributes…

On Instagram:

‘Banksy’ Instagram Account Shares Simple But Beautiful Tribute To Charlie Hebdo Cartoonists

UPDATE: Jan. 8 — The image shared on the fake Banksy account in fact belongs to French illustrator Lucille Clerc, who told The Huffington Post via email: “Yes, I can confirm the drawing is mine. Whoever [reposted] this just took my image and added a filter. I didn’t answer as I don’t want it to turn into a polemic, and distract people from the real issues.”

The original “Banksy” Instagram post has since been updated to credit Clerc’s Twitter handle.

You can see more of Clerc’s work here.

Artists Around The World Show They Won’t Be Silenced By Terrorism After Charlie Hebdo Attack

Gunmen stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo — a satirical newspaper headquartered in Paris — leaving 12 dead Wednesday, including cartoonists Jean “Cabu” Cabut, Georges Wolinski and Bernard Verlhac (also known as Tignous), as well as the publication’s editor/publisher Stéphane “Charb” Charbonnier.

In the immediate aftermath, illustrators and artists around the world were moved to express grief and frustration, showing solidarity with their slain colleagues in political cartoons aimed at defending freedom of speech, while also condemning religious extremism. Many of the visualizations capture the absurdity of the terrorist attack in a universal language — cartoons.

There are a lot of cartoons at that link with translations too.

Newspapers React To Charlie Hebdo Attack With Show Of Solidarity On Front Pages

In London, The Independent had a bold message for the terrorists:

That is just one of many, so go and see the others.

Now the cartoons.

There are just so many of these, that I can’t even post all of them. So I will give you the ones I think are the best…hope that you will agree. At the end I’ll post the links to other sites where you can see other cartoons as well…so with that, here we go…
