Cartoonists from all over the world reacted to the cold-blooded attack on their peers at the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday through their art.
Some sent messages of solidarity to the surviving Charlie Hebdo staff and the families of the newspaper’s slain cartoonists. Others drew caricatures of the assailants who targeted the newspaper staffers for expressing their views on radical Islam.
The cartoonists wrote in English, French, Spanish and even Arabic. Here are their reactions:

This post has been updated.
I do believe the commenting is complete
A fitting tribute would be for every newspaper in the world to publish the Hebdo cartoon in question.
Religion is an STD
A Sect-ually Transmitted Disease.
Apologies to all who have read my sentiment.
These cartoons are unbelievably awesome and should go completely viral.
Hat tip to TPM for compiling them.
Wow, the twin pencils one is powerful.
