Like something out of a Monty Python skit, surviving Charlie Hebdo cartoonist, Bernard Holtrop, who was not in the office at the time of the attack because he “doesn’t like going to meetings,” says all the global support sickens him. “We vomit on all these people who suddenly say they are our friends.” Link: Charlie Hebdo cartoonist scoffs at supporters [NY Daily News].

Jan 26: Roz Chast at DCJCC on 16th St. NW
Roz Chast: Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?
Monday, January 26
7:30 pm
Priority seating and signing available
Famed New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast does such a comical, fluent job of conveying the things that keep her up at night that many readers are convinced she is somehow mapping their own inner lives. Her latest book, which tackles the subject of growing up in Brooklyn as an only child and of her efforts, decades later, to help her parents navigate the jagged shoals of old age, is by turns grim and absurd, deeply poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. Bid on a signed, original drawing by Roz!

Capital Business to end, Mike Shapiro to lose gig?
This email arrived in my inbox today:
The last issue of Capital Business will publish on Monday, January 26, 2015. Beginning February 1 Capital Business stories will move into The Washington Post throughout the week. Much of the content of Capital Business will be able to be found in the Sunday and Monday issues of The Washington Post. In addition, we will continue to publish stories on The Washington Post web site.
A few years ago, the Post dumped its daily business section, and seemed to move resources to this free tabloid. I've only gotten it for about six months, but Mike Shapiro has been doing a gag cartoon illustrating the Career Coach column. I don't know if he'll be still doing it for the Post proper.
Here's a 2012 example that Google turned up:

Post's Petri editorial on Charlie Hebdo

Charlie Hebdo and the true power of the pen
By Alexandra Petri
Washington Post ComPost blog (January 7 2015; in print January 10): http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2015/01/07/charlie-hebdo-and-the-true-power-of-the-pen/
June 19: Tangent Artists at Capital Con
http://www.capitalcon.org/guests/
Webcomic Guest: Tangent Artists
Long ago… a team of talented professional writers and artists tried to invent a machine that would translate imagination into vivid brightly animated images on a TV screen. Having no knowledge of neurophysics, complex machinery or even simple fractions, this plan was sadly abandoned in 2007.
Instead the company endeavored to provide high-quality web comics to the world once a week, and this goal was met with far greater success. Thus was the creation of three comic series: The macabre comedy, "Skeleton Crew," the celebration of nerd life, "Donuts for Looking," and the Swords & Sorcery & Sarcasm series, "CRIT!"
Monica Marier : Does script pencils, ink, and color for both Donuts for Looking and Skeleton Crew. She also does script and pencils for CRIT. She's a published Fantasy author with Hunt Press. David Joria: Does script for Skeleton Crew, Donuts for Looking, and CRIT. Rachael Hixon: Does story, ink, and color for CRIT. She also is in charge of in-house printing for Tangent Artists comics and books. You can view new comics every week at the Tangent Artists site: http://www.tangentartists.com/
