CARTOONISTS AROUND THE world have been sharing powerful cartoons as a response to last Wednesday’s attack at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

As one of the world’s longest-running animated series, the artists behind The Simpsons had something to say, too.

At the end of this week’s episode, the Judd Apatow-penned Bart’s Best Friend, there was a short clip of Maggie holding a ‘Je Suis Charlie’ flag, in a style reminiscent of the Les Miserables poster.
