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!
