Ben Claassen's Charlie Hebdo cartoon
Ben Claassen's weekly comic strip Dirtfarm is a Charlie Hebdo cartoon. It doesn't appear to be online, but it's in the hard copy of the Washington City Paper for January 16, 2015. Titled R.I.P., the first panel shows the Charlie Hebdo staff in heaven meeting Jesus and then the next two panels show the artist's hand actually drawing the cartoon figure of Jesus.

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:
