Hundreds of cartoonist drawing pencils. A few willing to lampoon Mohammad.

I’ve noticed and thought the same thing myself. I heard that a German paper reprinted some of the “offensive” cartoons, but that was it.

Let us see more cartoons lampooning Mohammad.

They're always ready to lampoon Christian targets, so it can't be an honest concern for 'religious tolerance.'

Robert Crumb has been living in France now for 2 decades. He offered up this cartoon last week

“I’m not going to make a career out of baiting some farking religious fanatics, you know, by insulting their prophet. I wouldn’t do that. That seems crazy. But then, after they got killed, I just had to draw that cartoon, you know, showing the Prophet. The cartoon I drew shows me, myself, holding up a cartoon that I’ve just drawn. A crude drawing of an a$$ that’s labeled “The Hairy A$$ of Muhammed.”

R.Crumb is primarily known for the “Keep On Truckin’” guy, Fritz the Cat, and that Janis Joplin/Big Brother album cover.

I've been watching the coverage on CNN. Amanpour and Cuomo are just giggling with joy over the wonderful "symbolism" of the French demonstrations. Yep, they believe that you fight AK47's with symbolism!

I'm waiting for CNN to change their Breaking News banner from "MARCH REACHES PLACE DE LA NATION" to "JE SUIS CHEESE EATING FRENCH SURRENDER MONKEYS"

Leftists are cowards.

All this brave talk of “je Suise Charlie” means nothing. It will all die down after a week.

Got to agree with that. I was looking for cartoons with Mohammed, not pens.

I’ll stand with you as long as it doesn’t cost me anything personally.
