Newseum puts Charlie Hebdo on display

By WTOP Staff January 14, 2015
http://wtop.com/dc/2015/01/newseum-puts-charlie-hebdo-display/

but for God/Allah's sake, don't buy it on ebay. With 5 million copies printed, this will be worthless at this time next year. If you don't believe me, go buy a Death of Superman special bagged comic for a nickel - unless someone forces you to take five copies for free.

Charlie Hebdo sells out, already on eBay for $117K

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.
